If it was a pulled connector, secure exposed metal with electrical tape. One can use black electrical tape or a very small wire nut. no cutting needed and one can put it back later. Unless one has plans to get real fancy later on, it doesn't matter which one just one leading away from each LED> Some wires are connected to the motherboard in a way they can be pulled and put back using a sharp nosed pliers. Just cut one of the wires leading away from each LED (keep reading).

Note: Do not cover any vents or such things as this will lead to your device overheating and eventual death.Įasiest way to 'block' the lights is to disable them. ( A further advantage is that if the LED is in a sort of hole, Blue Tac will easily fill in that hole and cover the LED completely)

Blue Tac for a non permanent solution that can mould to any LED shape.

Duct or electrical tape - for good light blocking.

You would easily be able to press this over the light and mould it so that it covers the entire LED, make the layer thick enough so that all the light will be blocked out and you'll be laughing. To be honest I would have thought a layer of duct tape (a couple layers of electrical tape) would be plenty to block out all the light but I guess it depends on the shape and everything.Īnother method I've thought of which I have very high hopes for is Blue Tac or any other mouldable adhesive putty. While it won't remove the light completely, it will dim it a lot, and you could apply tape (duct or electrical tape would work the best) to completely eliminate the rest of the light.īear in mind that super gluing will be permanent and it will not easily come off again (possible question for life hack) so while it is a good solution it won't really be reversible.

Something I found out the hard way is that a layer of super glue significantly dims the brightness of the LEDs.
