    Small issue - any way to get the wireless light to stop flashing?

    When I'm typing the little green wireless radio light on my machine, right below the lcd, is annoying the hell out of me.

    Yes I know I'm using wireless, I'm on the internets! I always am! Can I just get it to stay lit up and not let me know when it's transmitting? Because I really couldn't care less, I kinda figure that's how the whole damn internet works, I don't need it acted out by a stupid light that serves little purpose.

    The solution is very simple: put a little sticker over it :D

    Yup, I agree. I see laptops in theaters controlling lights and sound all the time with tape all over it to keep it dark, ugly as hell but perhaps a small black dot of it will just do the trick.

    I got a pack of screw kit for a missing screw. It includes some small round black stickers used to cover the screws. I received the screws less than 24 hours after calling the tech support. You might want to do the same :)

    Well, I don't want it GONE, I just want it to stay completely on or completely off. It's the flashing that sucks :)

    When you cover it with a black sticker (the one for screws, non transparent), it will be "completely off". ;)

    I want it to be on or off, completely reflecting it's true status. Smart ass :)
