    First of all, what color do you have your FX set to? I assume you have it set for Red since the alienhead flashes Red then Blue? The only thing you need to do is once your sitting on your Desktop hit FN + F2 until you see the battery indicator disabled. Problem solved!

    try this...
    remove battery & power cord from laptop.
    hold down the power button for 30 seconds
    replace battery & power cord.

    This is what i did to stop that.

    good luck
