I will certainly look into it, but it's not nearly as annoying as that flashing light. Life is good now.

I receive my laptop today.This is beautiful machine.
On my laptop the blue led line don't light up.It's normal?
I love keyborad,it's very quiet.Fan is a bid louder than on my other HP dv7.I must buy second caddy to install second hdd? I will put ssd from my dv7.

Where I can download fresh W7? I would like to use key from the sticker on the bottom of my laptop.

"Fixed" the flashing WiFi light!

The poster mentions restarting the WiFi card, but I had to restart the computer for it to kick in.

Yay! This is the single biggest gripe I had with this laptop! I officially love you, 8940!

I'm planning on purchasing this early next year...hoping I can get work to pitch in a few hundred towards it

Anyone have any ideas of cases that would work well with the 8940G? I'm a photographer and video producer so I've got tons of accessories I need to keep with my computer. I'd love to get a nice roller case for it.

I got this for mine, it friggin' rocks...

I saw that one and was between that and this one:

I'm planning on picking up a Zalman cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-686-_-Product

...since I do HD video editing, I want to use the Acer at maxed settings for extended times without worrying about it overheating.

Do you think the backpack would have room to fit the 8940G and Zalman while still having room for more accessories in the future?

...any chance you could post some pictures of the backpack? I hate how they only have one or two shots of a backpack so you never really know all it offers.

Do this instead: Hit F3, and in the box type "LedMode" and search. Everytime it comes up, change the setting to whatever you want it to be. (0=off, 1=blink, 2=on) It came up in three different registry keys for me, so it should be the same for yours, but could be different since I had done some driver reinstallations.

Then reboot!
