    Hey guys,

    Can anyone tell me why the Blue LED light next to the webcam lights up at certain occassions? Usually, I don't even use the Webcam and have even disabled it in Startup Programs, but I've noticed that the Blue LED light next to it has been blinking on a daily basis at certain times of the day.

    Also, after the ligth blinks, sometimes a notification pops up informing me that the "device can perform better" and I'm pretty sure it refers to the webcam.

    Why exactly does this happen? It's not really a big issue, but is there any way I can disable it?

    Thanks...

    Over the 2 years that I have used M1530, while video-chatting I found out it is completely useless. Just rip the LED out of the panel.
