(...) I had the opposite problem. It worked fine, but whenever I powered off my system the green light came on and stayed on. (2 URLs) I never did figure out the problem.

(...) As yet, me, re my Serial/IR Tower Green LED being stuck On, I know very little coherent & new. a) I did try searching for the word "green" in: (URL) results seemingly confirm that "everyone knows" the green LED should light only when used. b) (...)
