    The battery status LED, on my N200 is ALWAYS on, its on even if it is running from batteries, or if it is on AC power, even if its fully charged the status light stays on..





    is this normal? its a status light....so it should not be "always" ON, right?

    Yup, that's normal. My understanding is that it is just a status light telling you that:

    A. Battery is connected

    B. Green battery - sufficient power remains

    C. Orange battery - Low battery (often 10% or less, or whatever you have it set to consider a low battery)

    Yes, unless you remove the battery.
