My TCL TV flashes a little ring light constantly if it doesn't have an internet connection. The best part is the LED is part of the IR receiver, so if you cover it up your remote stops working. I've dimmed it as much as possible through the hidden service menus, but the option to remove it was apparently removed in a firmware update at some point.

Jesus fucking christ. This is by design; they knew what they were doing.

Rtings needs a category/filter for design and "smart" features that cause issue.

Open it up and replace it with a resistor, can't blink if it doesn't exist.
