m17 R2, power button flashing light
Today, while playing World of Warcraft, I noticed that the power button started flashing a yellowish/orange light. It continues to flash if I put it in hibernation mode, and stops only if I physically unplug the power cord. I've had this laptop for 2 months. I'm not getting any error messages, the laptop's not freezing, stalling, its turning on and off just fine. I normally have all of the lights turned off. It's updating just fine, it works like a dream.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and should I be worried?

UPDATE:
Ok, so the flashing just stopped, the exact moment my laptop notified me that the battery was done charging... Apparently the flashing yellow light is an indication that it was charging my battery. The power cord must have been jostled out of its port a little because my battery was drained 6% despite always using my laptop with the power cord. I feel like a dumdum.
So, for anyone who had a flashing yellow light like I did, check to see if your battery is charging.
