With the stock firmware, the Dell (and Acer) will actually flash/blink when suspended, but that's annoying AF so I killed that. I leave mine on 24/7 but the LEDs are a bit much so I bought some lightdims (and subsequently put them on pretty much all electronics in the house).Sorry, I meant suspend (i.e. the mode you can quickly wake-up from). The shutdown option turns it off on both boxes.
Are you seeing differing behavior with the two boxes running the same OS/version and with the same power settings?
Looking at my backup firmware file, I updated the coreboot firmware on the Asus in July 2015 and is running the Intel EGL build of OpenELEC.
On the Dell I updated it last week (new unit) so is fully up-to-date with coreboot and LibreELEC.
I agree that a flashing/blinking LED would be really annoying! Is it possible the change to kill the blinking also stopped it turning off completely in suspend mode? No big deal though, I can get some lightdims like you mentioned.
