    i just got a new asus laptop to replace my old hp that crapped out on me. i was able to exchange it at best buy for the asus. anyway on the sides of the screen there are these flashing blue lights. are they a warning of some kind?

    the laptop is an Asus G71.

    I'd be concerned that you didn't read the documentation that came with the laptop.

    i read thru the documentation and did not see anything about direct console. but i may have overlooked it. and shyster i dont think its really that funny as this is the first asus laptop that i have had and i am still getting used to it.

    i looked the docs again but found no mention of direct console. i probably would have found out eventually though.
