PRS-350 New 350 - Blinking green power indicator

Lloyd84 · 10-13-2011, 07:24 AM

Hi all.

Just got a new prs-350. I'm doing the initial charge, and the power indicator stays red for a short time, and then blinks green for a long time. It then seems to turn off for a while, then goes back to red. Is this normal?

I have had a 350 for over a year, and have never seen the light show green. When mine is charging it is red, and the light turns off when it is fully charged. When transferring data, it shows a yellow orange color, but I have never seen it shine green.

Interesting. I've never seen a green light on my 350 either. Like Avwriter, mine is a steady red while charging, then it turns off when it's done.

Solved it with a new one. It was DOA. Now I just have to exchange the case I cleverly picked up when I saw it was the last black one... for a PSR-650.
