power LED flashes red

[sirslex]

Seriously, at first I thought it was an actual spark that was showing at the power button light. It's certainly not "blinking" in any sort of normal pattern. Just sort of flickering on briefly at random times. (but at least once every couple of seconds) All the info I have seen has to do with a bad power supply, but that in those cases the red light will go on and the system usually won't start up normally... I'm hoping this is just a case of a bad LED at the power button. But I can't contact DeepCool at the moment because of Chinese New Year and I don't know where the case manual is either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

so... I've tried a few things like unplugging any accessories and checking physical connectors. It seems to be a HardDrive Activity light, although I have never noticed it do this before. 😛 If anyone can verify this ,though, I'd appreciate it.

Dude I have the same case as you (a Kendomen RD) and the power button flashing red/purple just means that it's accessing the hard drive. Nothing to worry about man.
