Any way to stop sidelights from blinking during sleep?

Hi.

Simple question. Right now the side lights blink when my laptop is sleeping. Apart from destroying the LEDs, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks

 

Put to hibernation instead of sleep.

 

I can't use hibernation because my laptop will throttle after hibernation. Only sleeping the laptop fixes my throttling issues

 

There is no way to do it though software. You need to open up the computer (unscrew bottom panel then remove the keyboard by some more screws) and unplug the lights. I've done this and it's nothing to be scared of. Unplugging the side lights still lets the power button light blink when sleeping.

 

any reason you want to stop the lights from blinking? just curious. personally, i find them to be useful in knowing whether it's off or sleeping.

 

can be annoying when its blinking right in your face while your trying to sleep...trust me. i just shut it down tho, no lights then.

 

Yeah it is really annoying when trying to sleep. I usually just throw something over the laptop.

 

Yup..this is the problem

 

Black electrical tape. And it matches my glossy black finish..

 

I just throw a t-shirt over top of the corner; problem solved

 

The light from the AC adapter is also annoying, I just cover it with my mouse pad when I sleep

 

I think ya'll should quit sleeping with your laptops. Problem solved. And quit putting clothes on it. It's a laptop.
