How to hid bright lights on motherboard?

[Cruiseshipfan]

Hey guys.

I have a Gigabyte motherboard with a duel bios. The only two issues I am having is; one the bright red light that indicates which bios I am in, which destroys my blue lighting system in the system. The other is the red power button on the mobo. The second one is not that big of an issue as it is fairly dim, but the bios lights are really annoying, they turn the lower half of my case into a mix of reds, oranges, purples and blues. So I was wondering if there was a way that I could safely cover these bios lights so that they no longer shine light throughout my case, as well as doing no harm to my system.

Thank you.

You could put some sticky tape on them, maybe apply a dash of black paint. Probably the best option w/o desoldering them.

You could try a sharpie. On my Rampage board there are options in the bios to turn off all LEDs, maybe the same holds true for that board.

I've seen it done with normal black electrical tape. Just cut a small piece enough to cover it. Shouldn't be an issue.

Ok thanks guys. I will check the Bios to see if there is an option to turn the LED's off, if not I will do a double shot with a sharpe and some electric tape. So hopefully with both of them it covers it.

try electricians insulating tape - black sharpie might work?

a black whiteboard marker maybe?

Put black electric tape or put a piece of black paper and cover it.

If it's really bright, sharpie would most likely just tint it purple. Electrical tape is a much better option, I'm using it to cover the LED on my monitor. I can't even tell its there.

Thanks a lot guys the light can hardly be seen now. I was couldn't find any option to turn it off in the bios so proceeded to put some electrical tape over it. We didn't have any black but a nice dark blue, which still works with my blue colour scheme. You can still see it but now only if you look directly at it, which is not possible due to my 7970 sitting in front.
