    The knowledge on how change the lighting colors in a p180hm?

    Share would be most fantastic...

    Sell would be a possibility if the price isn't to high..
    - If need be, I can sign something agreeing to not share with anyone else
    - If allowed... I'll make a pretty pretty post about how to do it so the public can know and bring wonderful enlightenment to all owners of this fantastic end-of-lifed beast...

    Reply or PM would be great. (Before anyone yells that there is a p180 list, I already asked in there, doing it out here for more exposure).

    I haven't looked into the P180 very much.. Are you suspecting that it's a software change? What lighting are you trying to manipulate?

    There is a tribal logo on the back, and a few "soft buttons" above the keyboard (hard plastic that you put your finger on and they will react), and there is a strip of lighting around the trackpad.

    At least a couple of the vendors were offering a color change when you ordered the laptop new for a small fee. I figured since the fee was small enough it probably isn't so hard to do if you had instructions.

    Thanks for your interest!

    I'm fairly certain those led lights were physically replaced with a different coloured one, though don't quote me on that.

    Some of them came in Red others in Blue. While this model was active there was a lot of questions about changing the color in the owners thread and no one knew how to do it :(
