Battery LED

The red battery LED is on when the battery is being charged.

If the battery charge drops below ca. 10%, the red battery LED starts blinking. This seems to be controlled at a very low level (as it works both in the BIOS screens and in Linux without special drivers, as far as we know) — either in the BIOS, ACPI, in a hardware circuit, or most likely in the embedded controller (EC) of the laptop.

Power LED

Blue when switched on. Blinks blue when in suspend-to-RAM.

Wireless LED

See Wireless for details. Using ndiswrapper it blinks when transferring data. Using native rtl8187 it just stays on.

Num lock LED

Works if NumLock active.

Caps lock LED

Works if CapsLock active.

Disk LED

Works as expected.

Modem LED

Ethernet LED
