Should the blue LED do anything besides be on or off??


On my new 5040 it occaisionally blinks 1-4 times at irregular intervals. Pretty sure only during playback, but I may just not have noticed at other times. Otherwise, there are no problems whatsoever.

I never heard of that one. If it's not affecting anything, I would imagine it's probably just a bad LED/or solder joint.


Anyone else?

rmkernan - I have the same problem with mine. The blue light will randomly flash on and off - no rhyme or reason to it. I was initially really worried about it, but the replay itself works fine, so I think I must just have a loose wire somewhere. If the only problem is the light blinking on and off, I would definitely keep it.

I have seen posts about this before (tho it is rare).


Seems like it doesn't necessarily mean anything.


BTW: many people find the blue light annoying anyway and end up covering it with masking tape or something else to diminish its brightness.

Anyone know morse code?


Mars is the closest it will be for 60,000 years, and all of a sudden the needlessly bright Replay light begins to blink mysteriously.....
