Satellite L655-1EM - why does LED flash all the time?

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon, and since I've had it on one of the LEDs won't stop flashing.
It's the one next to a short fat cylinder.
Any help would be much appreciated, I even turned everything off and it still flashed!
My old laptop didn't do this.
The LED is really bright so it's very noticeable, and it even flashes in hibernate mode!

Every time when some info must be read from HDD the LED will blink and show HDD activity.
I cannot understand why do you wondering when HDD blinks. It is logic that from time to time something will be read or written on HDD, even if you dont do anything.
Do you know how many background processes run on your notebook?
Please dont make big thing with this. It is nothing unusual and quite normal.

    Hi,

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program
    drwxrwxrwx

  • Why does Dreamweaver crash all the time, hang all the time and work so slow.

    Why why why why why can't Adobe make a simple program that works. I hate Dreamweaver. I'm switching to Transmit. At least it works. Dreamweaver is garbage. Adobe seems to think that if they prettify a program with new splash screens and tutorials that people will buy it. But I already know how to work this useless piece of junk and I don't want to learn how to use it more as the more I use it the angrier I get. And as for tutorials if they'd just organize them and put their links in one spot they'd do every user a favor. I'm sick of looking for information about their useless programs only to find that the onlly resouorce is a tutorial on Lynda.com that's five years old. There are dozens of programs that Adobe makes (and has probably forgotten about) that don't have any manuals and those that have manuals have information that is inadequate or out of date.
    I live for the day when a well-organized company buys out Adobe and runs it properly or when it finally gets broken up by whatever anti-monopoly organization their is so there is real competition for new customers and an incentive to create good programs.
    Adobe you can go straight to hell.
    Have  nice day

    Well I hope I didn't ruin your day. I have actually talked to Adobe about this problem but they don't listen. I've had service support people on the phone for hours, unable to solve anything and my inquiries have been 'escalated' to the level of software engineers who allegedly wrote the program. They have responded, weeks later, that they were aware of the problem but unable to reproduce it. I'm not the only person who has complained about Dreamweaver or about Adobe's lack of information about its own products. Try, for example, learning about Edge Animate. You can't. There is no  manual and what online help is available is sketchy and inaccurate. Even books about the program are inaccurate and Lynda.com tutorials are too old to be of any use. There are some great people on Adobe's forums who have helped me in the past, but what kind of company relies on users to do their job for them? That's like Chevrolet telling you to ask another owner how to change a tire. Adobe even advertises its forums as a pool of 'experts' as if we are all highly trained specialists just waiting to solve your problems. I think people who solve queries online should get paid.
    As I said earlier, Adobe is an ugly dirty monopoly and it should be broken up so there is some real competition.
    End of rant.

    Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
    If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

  • LED on all the time

    The green LED light in front of the Webcam Live. It's on all the time. I thought it supposed to be on only when the webcam is doing capture?
    If the LED is on all the time, how can I tell if the webcam is capturing or not?

    The led just indicates that it's connected to USB and activated by the webcam-drivers.
    To capture you need software. there you can see if the cam captures or not.
    At least it's that way with the led of my WebcamGo.

    My mini iPad screen is flashing all the time

    Try to reset it. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. If that doesn't help then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look it over.

  • My hp g62-a20sa laptop's screen does turn on all the time. is this hardware failure?

    If I turn on my laptop screen seems to be working, but not all the time. It simply does not turn on time after time at all. However I can hear PC's fan is spinning and HardDrive is spinning as well...
    I have reinstalled OS, also updated graphics card. Nothing helped.
    Retail shop where I have bought this PC does not want to replace this PC or hardware, because they 'cannot' identify the problem...

    Karimba,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Yes, I am in agreement with you, and I understand it is a big inconvenience because a one-year-old computer is not old at all.
    I am not sure if you are aware of the current warranty status of that computer, but if it is still covered, you can get a free repair under warranty. If you are unsure of the warranty, you can check with the HP warranty checker tool.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

  • When I open a new link and then switch back to the original page why does it go all the way back to the top of page?

    Scroll to the middle or bottom of a page with many links (like ebay) then close the link and when it returns to original page you are sent all the way back to the top of the page, why does it not switch back to the area of the page I was originally viewing?

    Try here:
    Tools > Options > Applications
    Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".
    Does it work?
    Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:
    Tools > Options >General tab
    pick "Always ask me where to save files"
    All good now?
