Amiga Problems/Hard Drive Light

Advertisement


Question
Why does my orange hard drive light stay on all
the time now.  I had my 4000T worked on a little.
It works great. But the orange hard drive light
stays on all the time now.  Is that a problem.
Everything works fine.  But I'm concerned about
that light.

Answer
Hi Jack,

If everything is working fine (especially your hard drive operation other than the light), I wouldn't worry about it. It could be just a faulty LED or signaling to the LED. What could be a problem is if you ever need to reboot your Amiga and aren't aware if the hard drive is still writing files :( Just be as careful as you can.

I hope that helps!
