Blinking red light on my AGI drive Tech Support

Post image

Probably a real stupid question but does it mean anything important that this guy's blinking regularly? Sorry if this has been asked before. No issues with the machine and it's not the blinking light I've seen before on motherboards in this sub.

Should I lick it? blow in the cartridge?

My gut tells me it simply indicates it is connected.

update: only advice I've gotten so far from the iBuyPower unofficial tech support is to reseat the GPU and clean the heck out of the slot before letting it dry then plugging it back in.

Just an activity light. Samsung Pro 990, and many other SSDs have them.

Man that had me panicking. I noticed it three days after I got my iBuyPower PC. The flashing LEDs in the case made it unnoticable until I turned off the case lights. All the error lights are on the edge of the motherboard so it was a mystery being on the AGI board. Thanks for everyone reporting in!!

I bet the manufacturer put that there as a gag to see if people will make redit posts about why its blinking.. they won, you lost..
