Default Any Power Light Hacks/mods? - 12-07-2009, 07:07 PM

I'm in love w/ the 10v and had it for awhile now...

But, I don't know if it's just me, but that white power light is blinding when you're sitting in the dark w/ the laptop and head level..hard to explain..

But anyway...anyone ever make any changes to this?

Thanks,
Tom

I just use some dark nail polish. After two light coats it looks great .

I did the same to the power cord light.


Plus if u don't like it or want to sell it, just take a little polish remover to it.

Be careful about polish remover - especially the "oily" kind with acetone. It will eat the plastic.
