Vostro 260s Power Button Light Issue

I have a Dell Vostro 260s CPU. When I turn on the power button, I boot into my Windows and everything on Windows is working fine but the light that blinked inside the power button is no longer blinking. Is this any critical issue?

Considering the age of the model, If everything else works I would ignore the light.

Blinking indicates a standby or sleep state.

Blinking Amber indicates hardware issue.
