    Does your power button light up all the time when pressed?

    Mine has a mind of it's own and is driving me nuts. It lights up sometimes and other times it doesn't light up at all when pressed.

    Seriously, I can't figure it out.

    Mine only lights up when I press it. It disappears when the machine is running.

    Yeah, but does it light up EVERY time you press it? I know that it doesn't stay lit. Just want to know why mine lights up sometimes and other times doesn't (when pressed, of course).

    I don't see why it even lights up at all. It just comes on when you press it and goes off. It's as if Dell considered having it light up all the time, but then decided it would be too annoying to users.

    I might also have a finicky light on the power button. I just figured the ambient light was drowning out the blue...

    For those of you whose button lights up, is the led centered in the middle of the button or off to one side?
