    Hi, I was thinking if it was possible to turn of the big light left of the power button on the Acer 5920. My computer is in the same room as where I sleep, and if the power supply cable is plugged in, this light stays on, also when turned off. It wouldn't be such problem if the back of the lid closed in this way so it would cover the light up, but when closed, there is still a narrow opening at the back of the laptop, so the blue lights shines through. Pretty anoying if you want to go to sleep and you see this bright blue light in your room. I now always fix this by unplugging the power supply when I go to sleep, but the next morning when I power up my laptop, I always forget to plug the cable back in. So after a few hours I get the message my battery is low. I hate it when I'm using my battery when it isn't necessary (I want to keep my battery in good shape).
    Somebody know what to do?
