Ok, so I just got my new MBP last night. I installed BootCamp and XP. When I was messing around in XP I noticed that there is a red light shining out of the microphone port. The laptop seemed really hot at the moment. I left it go for a while and eventually booted back into OSX. I looked back down and the light was gone. What's going on???
Thanks! -Mike |

That's optical (digital) audio. As Apple states:

Heat has nothing to do with it, by the way. As stated here, power management works differently on Windows. |

So, it probably wasn't a good idea to stare directly into the light? Should I have my retina's examined???

It's an LED, not a laser. LEDs generally don't hurt your eyes.

Duh! Yeah, I guess if I would have read closer I would have noticed the LED thing.
Thanks TGIF! |

you can turn it off in windows if you go into control panels, and then i believe there's an SPDIF control panel (or something along those lines)
