Sorry about this, I should have tested it before posting the last message.
It seems that if I start rhythm box to create the issue I first reported, even if I shut rhythm box down the led on the tablet still flickers, and even if I restart the system (not log out and back in) the led is still flashing and the only way to stop it, is to unplug it and then plug it back in again.
I have wondered whether it's something to do with the way rhythm box detects devices (eg-mp3 players and the like) is it somehow mistaking my tablet as an mp3 player ? sounds stupid to me, but it seems to be what's happening.
