The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Well, first --> Power goes to the drive, so naturally it will blink.
    Second --> BIOS initiates it, so it is recognised by the system (What is the Boot Order ?)
    Third --> It is probably due to some Acer Bloatware you have on your system, that is seeking for some media in the ODD. Try getting rid of the bloatware, and uncheck unnecessary startup items in msconfig.
