    Nope. Maybe it's loose inside so you're reconnecting it as you touch it, so it flashes as it gets "plugged in".

    I do.

    Webcam operation doesn't seem to be effected so it didn't bother me. I only use the camera for Skype anyway.

    I notice mine flashes as I'm booting it up. I figured that is part of bootup.

    Maybe it just does it every once in a while. I don't use my webcam, so I don't worry about it.
