Theres lots of  computery equipment that have a flashing LED on the rear  ,  like my HP Printer /scanner .  Tucked in the back where no one can see is a flickering LED ...WHY ??

For diagnostics. It'll mean something to somebody.

I don’t need a nightlight in my bedroom, damned LED’s everywhere! Something’s on charge, I know it’s on bloody charge, I plugged it in! Ethernet connections are like a sodding christmas tree.

It flashes because of the data that's been recieved or sent an engineer cam see whats happening on the info.it sends out in a light form

An engineer,? :slap

If you look really, really, closely and count the flashes and spaces and durations, the LED's repeat all of the data being transmitted in Morse code dots and dashes. Just sometimes its a bit to fast even for our forum tech guru, Deke, to read all of the messages.
