holy shit i have the same laptop as you for ~5 years. thanks for finally telling me how to turn off the touchpad light!

How could you have not known that? It's so incredibly annoying.
>>
>>57593139
Just open it up and desolder the LEDs.

>buying shit hardware
thinkpad or bust

I think this is what it's going to eventually come to.

>>57593425
dont even need to desolder, just snip the fucking wire

>>57593537
Assuming there is an obvious wire that is running to them, sure.

Just put some tape over it.
Sure, it's a ghetto as fuck solution and will look terrible, but it's easy and cheap, that's implying you don't use the touchpad.

>>57593139
I'd worry more about the non functioning keys.

Just reconnect the keyboard or get the right part to replace the keyboard. It's a relatively easy thing to do in most computers. It's usualy just connected by a ribbon.

I'm using an usb keyboard anyway.

My current solution is to lock it, which limits it to a red light at the very top of it, which I cover up with a keyboard. Still suck though.
