Hey guys, is it NORMAL for the fingerprint reader LED to be flashing even when the X230 is turned off? When I swipe my finger when the unit is off it actually turns on and goes into windows! Im Running Win 8 .. Thanks for any replies!!

On my X230 Tablet, the Fingerprint Reader has always flashed when it is off and when it is in Sleep Mode.
The only time it hasn't flashed -- and this behavior has NOT been consistent -- is when my system has crashed (BSOD) and I have to do a hard power off. I believe the reason it may not flash under this circumstance is because Windows has to reboot in order to recover from the crash/BSOD.
AFAIK, yours is normal behavior.
