Hope this has not been covered already

OK...I have a BlacBook, but it just may be me. Does anyone notice a "flash" on your screen just after depressing the power button on your MacBook? There is a Flash just before the start up sequence begins.

Mine does the same thing, but I'm not really worried about it.

mine does the same thing, so do the other ones here at the mac store I work at...I don't think it's a big deal, or anything to worry about.

I concur. It certainly wasn't the first time I'd seen it when I closed and opened my new Macbook's lid.
