    I set white as my plugged in color and red as battery powered. Lately, I notice how it keeps reverting to red for a few seconds before going back to white. I checked the adapters and everything is tightly plugged in.

    No drop in performance too when that occurs, no freezes or anything out of the ordinary. Just the morphing color. Still, it unsettles me. Why is this happening?

    When its plugged in the two colors morph.its just the way it is. If you dont want it to morph make the two colors the same, as in make the plugged in and the on battery the same color. :)

    Doesn't morph when the battery's fully charged and you're plugged in (even when your battery and plugged in colours are different).
