Hi cfmom,

I'm a part of Dell Social Media Team. There are 3 LED lights in the front of your computer from left to right: First Power, second HDD activity, third Battery charging indicator.

The charging LED flashes only if the computer is put to standby and the charger is connected.

Hope that helps.
