    Weird question. On my Acer Aspire 5750, when the machine is powered off and I plug in the power cord, the ethernet port (located right next to the power jack) blinks green once. This does not happen if plugging in the power while the machine is turned on. The blink happens immediately as the power plug is inserted.

    Is this something to be worried about? The laptop seems to work fine otherwise.

    It's unlikely to be a problem- don't worry about that.

    This could be related to "wake-on-lan" settings or something like that. Indeed nothing i'd be worried about.
