One of my students has a small green light flashing at the top end of
his touchpad calculator. I'd never noticed there was light there,
because I've never seen it flashing until now. Can someone please
tell me what it means? Thanks, Rob

That's exactly the indicator of Press-to-test mode. 
He must have noticed that some of the graphing functionalities are disabled. The way to get rid of it is to connect the handheld with another and then turn off PTT mode under "Document" menu>9>1

Best Wishes,

That light is an indicator that the handheld is in Press to Test mode. You can get ot out of that mode by connecting it to your computer that has teacher software or to another handheld. Ti site has instructions. Just look up press to test mode.
