    Hello,

    We all know the orange is the wireless activity, and the green has a processor sign next to it.

    I have just upgraded my processor and it seems theres no link between when the link is on and when the processor is working hard, so what does this really mean, is it the HDD activity?

    ie green light solid on although my processor is only 3%.

    any ideas, ive guess its a general spread across all acers.

    the pic above my HDD light looks kinda like a SQUARE..
    but to verify check the USERS MANUAL for your model
    acer eruo support site

    the green light is the HDD activity light... to test that thoery/fact

    download HDDlife or HDtune and run them while observing the light,,
    or just run a defrag and watch the light blink...

    and the orange is the WIFI activity LED
