    On the side where the power plug goes in, there looks to be a ring of clear plastic, that looks like it could light up. does it?

    only the power button on the actual computer lights up, but there is a ring ON the back of the charger tip itself (again part of the charger tip not the computer) that lights up

    Actually, it blinks intermittently while charging. When its running on battery power, the light stays on and I noticed the glowing green power button also dims slightly.

    DOh. I forgot about that flashing indicator. I was thinking about the power cord too much. lol I know a few years ago, sony had units that the ring would glow red while charging and green when done. But they got rid of that.
