I seem to be having the same problem. The only thing that I've been able to
figure out is the insufficient power supply of the a500.

Yesterday my a500 had an interesting error. The capslock light on the
keyboard kept on flashing on and off, even if I turned the machine off and on.
The rate of the flashing was constant (on-off-on-off..). I assume it
was an indication of an error in the keyboard. I didn't test the keyboard.
Does anybody have an idea of what was going on in there.
