One of the RC lights is out

If the backup battery is in, all our RC's lights flash green. If I take it out, the RC Hardware light goes out. Not red, or yellow, but out. It still provides 5v to the analog and digital pins, didn't check any of the others.. but I'm wondering what exactly it means.

This happened shortly after someone got a metal shaving in the digital io pins.

2004 RC btw

Re: One of the RC lights is out

This is normal behavior. The backup battery provides power to the PWM outputs; without it, you will get no voltage on those pins. That light turns off to indicate this condition.
