Hmm...Whilst I was watching a DVD on my Xbox, I noticed the GameCube (which was powered off) was flashing its power light on and off, but paler than when the Cube is actually on.

It only seems to do it when my Xbox is on, and I know is related in some way to the scart cable of the GameCube, but when I looked in the manual for the GameCube, I couldn't find anything about a flashing light.

Any ideas why the light is flashing?

Making an educated guess, it has something to do with my setup.

I have one of those Scart Blocks. Allows up to five things to be plugged into one socket at once.

I'm wondering whether a low power signal is returning up the Scart cable of the GameCube and causing it to flash for that reason.

The Gamecube is detecting a low power signal, and is flashing the orange light.

btw: The flashing isn't random - it's happening at a regular pace.
