The LED is actually dim not the fully lit orange which shows the hard drive is really active. It seems to have slowed my laptop and also there is more of a fan noise. At least the clicking sound has disappeared for now. Anybody got any ideas on how to sort it out?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 01 May 2006 01:39:12 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-disk-led-always-on/m-p/164705#M94883 followthelight 2006-05-01T01:39:12Z Re: Hard disk LED always on https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-disk-led-always-on/m-p/164706#M94884 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You must be doing a big task for this to happen, like unzipping, unraring, image processing, video processing, video playback (in some cases)<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 01 May 2006 14:06:48 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-disk-led-always-on/m-p/164706#M94884 kee-lo_ 2006-05-01T14:06:48Z Re: Hard disk LED always on https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/hard-disk-led-always-on/m-p/164707#M94885 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No, on the contrary, it's like that when it is doing absolutely nothing at all.
