    I have noticed that the alienhead on the laptop randomly starts changing color as if it is charging the battery. The laptop has been plugged in for several days and has not been removed from AC power. Windows says the battery is at 100%. Any ideas as to why it keeps doing this?

    It's a feature of the AlienFX you can change that in command center if it annoys you.

    Uninstall and reinstall Command Centre. That should do the trick. ;)
