Thanks Fernando - will give it a go when I get home from work later today.
Interesting. So it sounds like you’re seeing what must surely be the same problem, it just looks a little different on your setup. Compared to yours, my flicker is more a slow pulse, perhaps 1.5 hertz, and it doesn’t stop no matter how long I leave it.
I just re-downloaded 7.8 to make doubly sure it was the correct OS, though I’m pretty sure it was. Battery is brand new and fully charged too.
No difference.
I also put a stopwatch on it to time exactly how long before the pulsing starts. It took 32 seconds from boot to pulse.
Once it was pulsing with the battery power on, I tried connecting the USB to my computer without powering down the battery, and the pulsing stopped immediately. I left it for a couple of minutes, then I unplugged the USB again, and after the same delay of 32 seconds the pulsing was back.
However there is one more interesting observation - selecting Serial or Serial + Mass Storage for upload has an effect. If I upload under Serial only, the pulsing is slightly faster than if I have Serial + Mass Storage selected. Comparison video below.

Though I do recall there was a 7.9 that proved to be rather a misfire, so yes, that could indeed be a factor here.
