[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Hard Disk Light

JKT100@psuvm.psu.edu (JKT) (04/19/91)

I recently pulled out my 2091 to put terminating resistors on its
Quantum 40 that I should have had there in the first place, but
only just got hold of.  Upon reinserting my 2091 and powering up
I have found that my Hard Disk light is now always lit--not as
brightly as when disk access is occurring, but with a dull glow.
The machine works perfectly; the hard drive light just glows.
I am SURE I put the LED connector back the way it was before,
but just to be sure, I pulled it off and put it back (to see if
it was a bad connection or something.)  No dice; the glow persists.

So, does anyone know what the problem might be?  It is not
critical (I hope), but it's rather disconcerting to have that LED
glowing there and not know why...
                                     Thanks for any info,

                                                            Kurt

Are you sure you put the resister pack in the correct direction?  
Normally there is a line, dot or some reference mark on one end which 
should go towards the end marked with a 1 or sometimes a square 
stenciled around the pin hole.
