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:
http://mindstorms.lego.com/support/en/ris15.asp
Those results seemingly confirm that "everyone knows" the green LED should
light only when used.
b) Still I do not know "how to ask NQC to leave a port open without speaking
thru that port for five or more seconds or more".
c) Still I am hoping to hear from other folk willing to risk trying a
Windows XP or XP SP1 Suspend to answer:
"Q1) Does your serial/IR tower green light shine after boot, before
launching comm software?"
"Q2) Does launching comm software turn the light Off?"
"Q3) Does the light come back On during a Windows Suspend of the comm software?"
d) Now that you mention it, thanks, next time I am colocated with a tower
I'll try carrying just the tower away with me, so then any time I'm free I
can try running most of the unfamiliar Control Panel and Device Manager
experiments suggested in:

Internet access is impractical.)

As far as I can see, on my Win XP SP1 PC, I have only one serial port and
only one serial device, so I don't think I'm suffering from 'port
confusion', except that by definition maybe I tickle more hardware when I
use BricxCC Automagic than when I use BricxCC COM1.

| (...) 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. Now I have a USB tower, and that works fine (plus no batteries needed). Brian (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| (...) Any word on whether you have discovered that the power management settings of the OS have any effect on the geen light situation? I haven't had a chance to play with my serial tower on my XP desktop PC yet. John Hansen (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
