No HD light on the X100e!

I can't be the first to notice the absence of a hard disk activity indicator on the X100e, but I've not seen any complaints here.
I don't think I've ever seen a PC without one and it just seems really daft thing to leave off.  I would never have thought I'd miss it particularly, but I've been surprised at how often I've been in the position of wondering whether I've got a hang or temporary freeze and have missed the inability to be able to confirm whether there's any activity.  It's usually just being slow (or my impatience).
Any ideas why it's been omitted?  Surely can't be cost?  Cosmetic? 
Anybody know of a simple desktop gadget that would go some way to a substitute?  I've tried many 'system monitor' gadgets, but they're all overkill really.
Solved!

Alternatively: Diskstat gadget

  • My iphone 5 suddenly wont fully boot...it stuck on the apple logo and goes of after 20 -25 secs and comes on by itself after a minute or two but still stuck on apple logo..also i am able to see a bit of lighting on the dark screen whenever it goes of

    my iphone 5 on the ios 7.1.2 suddenly wont fully turn on...it gets stuck on the apple logo and stays like that for approximately to 90 secs then goes blank but I can see a bit of lighting  behind the dark screen....it goes off by itself and comes on by itself trying to boot but still gets stuck on the apple logo after the dim light shows....when I connect to iTunes my phone can only be recognised only in recovery mode thus if I force it into recovery mode. My main worry is I don't have a back up of any of my data...on icloud I have just less than 2GB of my data which is as a result of incomplete back up...HOW CAN I GET THIS PHONE WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT LOSING MY DATA...if I can only just recover my data I would really appreciate it as I really  need almost everything on it back...if I can only get retrieve my data and lose the phone I wouldn't mind at all....Anybody know how to resolve this??Kind Regards

    Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

  • I have a MacBook Pro.  My mac can detect wifi.  But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere.  Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings.  Red light for the rest.

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • I've got a mac pro problem with the starting up, but also a red light on the logic board solidly on. Its not among the diagnostic led. It's located near the BT adapter and the front fans. Also the fans run loud also. any solutions?

    Hi
    I've got a mac pro late 2006, and i am having problem with it for quite a while now. the problem i am facing is the start up process, and the red light on the logic board. Earlier I've got the two led on the diagnostic leds 5 and 6 turned on without the diagnostic button being pressed, and i think those are related to the processors overtemp. I've managed to solve that by, removing the processors and re applying the thermal compound on the heatsink. what i have left now with is the red light on  the logic board at the time i plugged in the power. At the same time when this light come on, the power indicator at the front panel come on as well. i am not sure what is this light relates to. We've replace the power supply too, and gone through the SMC reset but seems no help.
    Any idea on the problem? I am desperate about it, and i will be greatful if anyone can help..
    thanks and hope for your best solutions

    I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
    Please help me..

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • Why cant I use my lights in the render future in PS CC

    I am having trouble with the 3D feature and the Lights in the render feature in PS CC.  I have contacted the Technicians on a number of occasions and each time they say its my Graphics card.  My PC is only months old and the firm that built it has checked out my graphics card and say there's nothing wrong with it.    When I first had PS CC things worked fine its only lately that this problem has developed, if the Technicians cant help me what chance do I have on my own and now I'm now renting something that I cant fully use.  Eve

    Great, now you've posted a completely blank post!

  • Does the light on the power cord always mean connected?

    I have a PowerBook with a very finicky power supply and an almost totally dead battery. When the battery is in and the power supply is connected (green light), the machine turns off after about a second and a half after flashing a low battery message.
    When the battery is removed and the power supply is connected, it lasts a little longer, and then randomly shuts down, maybe 3 or 4 minutes in.
    I'm only booting in Target Disk mode because the OS is corrupted after PowerBook completed said unexpected shutdown while OSX must have been doing something.
    So the question is, does the green light on the end of the power cable guarantee that the machine is actually connected to the power source? Or could the power cable be lying about its connected status, or possibly not delivering a full amount of power? The situation is most mysterious to me. Could it be most likely fixed by buying a new battery and power supply, or does it sound like there is something wrong with the DC-in board or another internal hardware component?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    I don't know the specific answer to your question, but thought I'd pass on that even with a bad DC In board, my power supply looked like it was functioning normally...
    So, suspect that even with a green or amber light, you could still have a problem...
    I'd take the computer and power supply to a Mac store to see if a replacement power supply fixes your problem... Maybe a new power supply will charge the 'dead' battery...

  • Traffic light on the basis of last month

    Hi guys,
    I have a question about the traffic light in the model Visual Composer. I would like to have a traffic light besids a table or graphic that wil be shown the status ( Green, red, yellow!) on the basis of the last month. In the table or in a graphic wil be shown several data of several months. But the traffic light have to respond on the basis of last month. That means that, if the last month exception( in the query) is green, the traffic light also wil be green.
    Can anybody help me please?

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

    Yes, that is correct.
    Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme?  Are you sure you have it setup properly?  Here is the setup guide:

    Ensure you have everything setup properly.  Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop

  • My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before

    MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before?  I've only had this for about 3mos.  I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

  • Satellite A660 How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.
    However bothers me is the lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In Bios I could turn off the led illumination, but the power on/off button is still lighting,that distracts me when i am working.
    This notebook has two power LED, so the power on lighting is in my opinion, unnecessary.
    My question is: How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

    Here you can see the LED with the same function in front of you: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/t009aae62jpg.jpg
    Yes in fact, the difference is color, design, but also location and brightness of the LED.
    For me, this LED is too bright and it is distracting in the dark, as you can see here: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/leddf570760jpg.jpg
    I was today at a local electronics store, and saw that Toshiba has the brightest Power LED on A660, but why it must be placed under the LCD and not in the front as in my old notebook Toshiba A210.
    I also had the idea with a tape, but it would look ugly, and it must be removable without residue.
    P.S. Also the fingerprints on the glossy keyboard do not look nice.
