LED Problem

first of all,im sry if i posted in the wrong place,i wasnt really sure where to post this problem.

i have 2 LED's on the front of my computer case, a green one with a light bulp drawing beside it, and an orange one with a cylinder drawing beside it.

the problem is that they are constantly lit,no blinking whatsoever,i had this problem since i first bought my computer 2 years ago,pc was formated twice since then,so it isnt the windows xp instalation,which is always up to date and virus-spyware free,and i checked the wires connected in the case,and they are connected properly.

now there are 2 strange situations where only the orange LED starts blinking normally,the first is that on rare ocasions,when i insert a dvd in my Plextor PX-712A,it blinks normally and it stays normal even after i take out the dvd from the drive,then when the pc is turned off or restarted,the LED is back to its constant lit state...the 2nd situation is as follows,i recently installed fedora on my computer,so whenever i boot to fedora,the orange light blniks normally the whole time im on fedora,till ofcourse i boot to windows xp.

so can anyone please tell me what are the normal states for both LED's and how can i get them to act normally,i know some of u may tell me to just let it be,but its driving me crazy.

Thank You all in advance.
 
it is normal, the one w/the cylinder it the hdd activity
and i think the other led is for power indicator either way, its normal
 
well if its normal,then why does the orange LED act differently when using fedora?

The power led stays on the moment you turn on your computer.

The HDD led, the blinking one, just is the indicator when your hard drive is working. When loading different programs, it doesn't always blink the same, as he searches elsewhere for the files... :)

so ur saying its normal for the HDD LED to stay constantly lit with no blinking what so ever while on windows xp,and that its normal for it to blink and not to be constantly lit when on fedora?

that doesnt seem logical :)
