Should the air module telemetry module have a flashing light when it's powered?

Should the air module telemetry module have a flashing light on it when it’s plugged in?

Thanks.

The USB side on my laptop flashes green with a quick red flash. (This just stopped after a while, it still flashes green.)

On windows, I got the right driver installed and using MP, I got these details on the USB computer side, and I’m unable to communicate with the drone side…

Is there a way to reset the air side? Or set a key or something?

The LED flashing you describe is normal. Depending on what radios you are using, instructions are available here:

Some very cheap radios might be problematic and might require reloading the firmware after re-setting the boot loader. This can (sometimes) be done following this method:
