That's normal.

when its in standby the lights should turn off, and you shouldnt be able to
open the cd drive

Does your hard drive light flash when in Standby? I just tested and the
CD ROM drive can be opened when in Standby. It's normal. Don't worry
about it. Old computers used to turn off the fans. The new ones don't.

Ryan,

I have exact same problem - it just started happening 2 days ago. Previously
my system shutdown - all lights off, cd did not open and fan went off. This
only changed in the last couple of days.
