They blink? :? Maybe I'm crazy but if memory serves mine don't blink, they just light up when on. Other than that, ermmm... you sure they're not pointed into the wall? :lol:

The virtual walls from my old Roomba stays steady green and then auto shuts off after about an hour or so.

The new ones blink green, but they never auto shutoff. Mine blink, but they work fine.

I have two walls... Both the same.. One does stay on green and turns itself off.. the other one blinks.. I think I have a defective wall...

There appears to be some kind of glitch in the electronics of the newer virtual walls that causes this sometimes.

If your Roomba is not stopping at the virtual wall, try fresh batteries.

In any case, to fix the blinking problem, remove the batteries and then hold the power button on the empty virtual wall for about a minute. Put the batteries back in and the blinking should stop.
