Help Weird light under glass, to left of "htc" logo

Please watch a quick clip I uploaded so you can see what my issue is:
Weird light under glass of Incredible S - YouTube

I had to send my Incredible S in for repair because it stopped charging. That was fixed but then it wouldn't read my SIM card. I sent it back and that was fixed but now I notice this rapidly flashing reddish light (color looks different because of video quality I guess) that appears to be behind the glass near the top of the phone, slightly to the left of the "htc" logo. It is certainly not the LED, as that is all the way over on the right side. This light will stop if I turn the phone off but eventually starts up again. I called HTC and they had no idea and weren't allowed to access YouTube to look at the clip I uploaded. Any suggestions? There are no other problems with the phone but I don't want to ignore this if it's a red flag. If this is indeed a light indicating something, the only thing I can think of is that it is a "tech" light that only a specialist would recognize as meaning some internal part has to be replaced. There's no mention of it in the user manual.
 
That's where the light and proximity sensors are.. maybe it shorted out when they were repairing your phone? I'm really not sure.. kinda making me nervous now because I have to send my phone back due to it not charging

The light has been coming and going for brief periods lately. If it has something to do with the sensor I imagine it has to be bad then..? Not sure what to do since they didn't have an answer for me last time and there has been a new problem every time I've received the phone back from repair. Maybe I'm in the minority but my experience with repair is certainly less than good. I wonder if this light flashing is a really unique issue and that no one else has experienced this? Hopefully a few more people weigh in.
