I have one fairly old MP40 & it's power supply has the green power light, so it's safe to assume anything newer has the light.
LOL!! Well whaddya know, theres a light on the power supply! Its pretty dim but it is a little green light. Guess I'll have to get out that multimeter (or make my husband do it, I've never figured those things out). Sadly no spare power supply or I would have tried that too. I've scoped out a few around the house but the output amperage is too high on most of them.
