When I shut down my computer, the num/caps/scroll lock lights on my keyboard flash on & off about 10-15 times & then remain permanently lit up while the computer is off. Also, the light on my optical mouse is always lit. Could someone PLEASE tell me what is going on & if I should be concerned. The keyboard never did this before (the same thing happened with a different keyboard as well). when the computer is on, only the num lock light is on as usual.
Please help! Thanx!!
