This Canon ImageClass D660 printer/scanner/fax was subjected to a power

board by following the fine aroma of charred components. The result of the
damage was that it just needed a few capacitors and a T4A fuse. I powered it
back up and was able to print a test page ok. However, before I proceed
putting this all back together to check everything else, I noticed that
there's an l.e.d. on the system control(?) board which has an amber l.e.d.
that continuously blinks like a turn signal.

Does anyone know if this is normal?
Thanks for your reply.

It's probably a watchdog circuit. Used to indicate proper operation. If it stops blinking, it means the processor is locked up. Perfectly normal.
