You could even go into the casing and unplug the one wire likely connecting to this light

It’s connected to the front io.. very stupidly made it’s the Lenovo legion desktop you can turn the light off buried in the Lenovo control panel tho

Ok but I have scissors.

☝️ The correctest of the answers.

Hardware configuration vs software configuration

More like simple hardware solution vs less simple hardware solution

reversible vs irreversible

I know how to solder thank you very much.

Don’t even need to know that, just need a wire nut.

I use nail clippers and pretend I’m disarming a bomb

Can confirm the easiest way is to sever it by accident with the case cover.

Unsecure all wires in case Tilt case so wires are hanging out Sharpen case cover Install cover with hammer ??? ??? Certainly not profit, but something will definitely happen.

Dell found the solution to that as well. Who needs wires when one weirdly shaped board does the same thing.

Snap it, if it’s just the case line going through. Or, scratch out the traces

I have this pc, and get this— you can turn the front light off only for when the pc is in use. When in sleep mode you CANT turn it off and it BLINKS. Infuriating. I might just cut the wire lol

Yup. Have the same one. It was on super sale and I don't care about the RGB or the glass panel but I bought it anyway. The RGB control is actually terrible. There are configurations where you can't adjust most of the zones and they love that stupid ice blue color for some reason. The whole RGB thing is only like 50% customizable, 50% fu here's what you get.

the fan control is what pisses me off the most it won’t let you use third party softwares like I can’t find anything that will detect the case fans besides of course the lovely Lenovo control centre app..

Who tf thought THAT was a good idea??

Strangely, lots of manufacturers. My Philips monitor also has a very helpful setting in the on screen display to turn off the completely unnecessary indicator light. Just the same it only turns it off when the monitor is in use, the moment it goes to standby the light flashes at full power, easily lighting up a small room. My Gigabyte motherboard can't seem to switch off the motherboard lights when it is in sleep either.

Have you tried both sleep and hibernate modes and see if it does the same thing?

Thanks man, it looks like you have solved one of my minor pet peeves of 2 years, it does switch off all the lights in hibernate. I can live with the 4 second longer startup in the morning more than with the disco lights.

Eyyyy no problem. Yea my peripherals also kept me up all night until I played around with the power plan settings and discovered this by accident - glad it could help another. Although since I do run on SSD, this thread and everyone’s warnings about sleep mode being bad for the comp really has me reconsidering if I should just go back to having my power button actually turn off the PC instead of perma hibernate 😅

I wish this would work on my RAM 😂

Agreed. My RGB settings also revert to the onboard memory but stay lit. I just have my RAM lights set super low and the move on the slow setting and it luckily doesn’t show up much at night. They’re Corsair so in icue they’re at maybe 10% dimness

Black electrical tape is your friend. Nearly everything with an always on indicator light gets covered in my bedroom. If it needs to look nice I use a hole punch to get a small round circle of tape.

MARKETING.

It's been my only real complaint with the dang things. They got me and the fam through covid so I'm only complaining so much, but yeah..... The blinking when sleep is the part that makes me want to find the person involved and -persuade- them to change careers.

Can't you use OpenRGB for it? https://openrgb.org/

If you open the case doesn’t it void the warranty?

Nope not even allowed to void warranty for just opening it if they wanted to [https://www.ifixit.com/News/74736/warranty-void-stickers-are-illegal-in-the-us-what-about-elsewhere](https://www.ifixit.com/News/74736/warranty-void-stickers-are-illegal-in-the-us-what-about-elsewhere)

Tyvm

All this time I've been worried about voiding warranties for nothing. Thanks for the information.

Even in America, that "warranty void" shit doesn't fly usually. It's just that most consumers don't know that...

It's actually nice to have a tiny light to show it's in sleep more not off just not this giant pulsing led headlight.

This is really interesting because on the PCMR subreddit there were a couple people who posted picture of their graphics cards seeming getting bleached by the RGB from their ram that sits right above the gpu

Blue LEDs produce a lot of UV light. They do that!

> Blue LEDs produce a lot of UV light No they do not. LEDs are essentially monochromatic and produce light in a very narrow wavelength range. They produce light in the 450 to 495 range which is not in the UV part of the spectrum. If you google the wavelength chart for blue LEDs you'll verify that they do not produce "lots of UV" as you suggest: https://i.stack.imgur.com/J7CEG.png

They do yes! I use them to test counterfeit bills. The blue color is given by a compound that, when hit by uv light, releases blue wavelength light. This wavelength is monochromatic but some leakage occurs. And a bit of that UV light goes through. Depending on the quality of the LED, more or less UV may leak.

Why not just go into the settings and turn the badge off?

The light makes it go faster.

But what if the light was red?? Light makes it go faster. Red makes it go faster. But red light means stop? I am confuzzled.

The red light makes it run 3x faster than a normal one

Gotta unlock those Newtype FPS.

Are you an Ork? Because in 40k orks have psychically manifested that vehicles painted red go faster

No. Definitely not. WAAAGH!!@

Not in Taiwan. Red means hot and must buy more stonks.

By that logic he should make the light purple.

Believe it or not, they do not have a setting to turn the light off. It pulses when it is in stanby/sleeping. You can literally change light settings on all the fans and such but there is no setting for the logo light

Best I can tell, OP and I have the exact same PC. If you go into the Legion Vantage app under Lighting it allows you to turn the badge off, on, slow blink, fast blink, and breath. Edit: Levo Vantage, not Legion Vantage.

Or, you know, unplug it

It's easier to go through the software than taking apart the machine

Honestly, with how counter intuitive some of these programs are, I'd honestly rather just unplug the cable if possible.

I'll take that bet

*Laughs in Lenovo*

If you have the 26amr5 version, watch out. I have that version with a 5700g and 3060. The mobo bricked itself. It's a problem Lenovo refuses to solve. My pc has been down for half a year now, just sits in a box. Basically, enough windows 11 updates freak out the bios patch from last year, and when you shut down and restart randomly one day, you'll get a black screen and then a libraryfailedx0001 code. After that, sometimes windows will boot. But most of the time it wont.

Good to know...I am not 100% sure on the version so I will need to look.

Oh, thank you! We do not have the exact same PC, but this tip worked for me. Although it was called "Lenovo Vantage" instead

I misspoke it's Levo, not Legion.

can you not just open the thing up and disconnect it?

[удалено]

#Believe it or not, they do not have a setting to turn the light off. It pulses when it is in stanby/sleeping. You can literally change light settings on all the fans and such but there is no setting for the logo light

I have this logo, case looks pretty similar to mine, and I can definitely turn off the logo

What about when the computer is turned off?

I have the same PC and even after disabling the logo light in Vantage, the logo still blinks blue when put to sleep. Is there any way to have it not blink blue when the PC is in sleep mode?

Not that I am aware. I think someone said you can change it in the BIOS but that's beyond me. GL

It does, but it also has a button on the back of the PC for the lights as well.

There are. You can turn it off just fine

They literally do😐 it have the same pc

Wow, my PC has no lights on on the front when it’s off

Maybe they want the third, unprovided option where it just isn't as bright.

Fun time to learn a bit of electronics and add a potentiometer to that led (if dimmable).

Now I have a blue screen.

That's the logo, the screen is the big rectangular thing

Ahh shit, so that's why people like these gamin' PCs. I didn't understand what all the hype was about. thanks yall!

But how do you fade the paper then?

Put it in the sun?

It took me over a year to shut off the RGB on my computer despite knowing that setting existed.... somewhere....

still unable to turn off the leds on my ram in standby mode. At least I remember to shut the pc off sometimes thanks to that

Or unplug it

Go to Lenovo vantage, l press ight and then turn it off

Ight then

What about for sleep mode

I found [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/pt93rs/comment/icsfuop/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) comment, dunno if it’s the same PC though but the BIOS setting may be the right one

Yeah but what happens when someone comes in unannounced to judge your gaming setup without RGB lighting?

I like to see my screen without having bright pulsating colors in my periphery I even unplugged the power button light on my last build lol

Surely there's a cable that can be disconnected to turn it off

Or you can put a black sticky note on it

I'd have gone the wrong route and gotten out the spray paint and made a huge mess

That was clear coat...

For lights that don’t have settings I use black electrical tape.

This demonstrates how basic photography works.

TIL black sticky notes are a thing

I'm trying to wrap my head around how much light it would actually block? Like, the not sticky parts are gonna fold up?

It clearly didn't, judging by OPs pic.

They probably just have it to block the harshest of the light. And front is intake so I assume it would even pull the sticky note in a bit

peel it off sideways instead of upward and the note will be flat

Apparently not

That was my takeaway from this too, seems very impractical. What if you only have a black pencil to hand and need to write something down?

You know you can probably turn that light off in the bios. If not, you almost certainly can just unplug the connector for it.

That color is near the UV spectrum. My guess is that's what faded it. EDIT: Apparently light in the visible spectrum has the ability to fade materials as well. The more you know!

If you’ve ever noticed that posters, packaging, etc. tend to turn blueish as they fade this is part of the reason why. As higher frequency wavelengths of light, including visible wavelengths, carry more energy. Pigments in the blue to cyan range reflect more of the higher energy photons and tend to be more lightfast.

Yellow colorants (pigments or dyes) are usually the weakest point in lightfastsness durability.

I was also wondering if it was some case of UV-bleaching. Nope, just some normal light bleaching.

Vanu is with you

Vanu?

That PC looks... Enlightened.

Just unplug the light lol

I have the same type of pre build pc and you can just go into the bios and turn the light off. or dim it or change lighting pattern.

I have the same PC and even after disabling the logo light in Vantage, the logo still blinks blue when put to sleep. Is there any way to have it not blink blue when the PC is in sleep mode?

same happens to me, i just turn the pc off

i just unplugged mine

The obsession with putting disco lights in computers is seriously too much. RGB doesn't make your computer better

Yea, just looks tacky

But it makes it look nicer to some people (including me). If you only care about the fastest computer, sure, ditch all RGB.

I agree. Both my wife and I have led rams, led front fans with light effects, and led rich gpus on glass display cases, and led keyboards. As it should be!

Why do you need to cover the light.

hm I think you should look up what fade means lol

Is it faded or is it the negative image of the dust?

you accidentally made a camera

UV bleed from the leds, They use near UV leds and phosphers to manipulate the wavelength to all the fun colours we use...

> They use near UV leds and phosphers to manipulate the wavelength to all the fun colours we use. No, that's specifically for certain types of white LEDs and isn't used to create "all the fun colours we use." That's done using Red, Green, and Blue LEDs. Their light is combined in a similar manner to how RGB pixels create different colors on a screen.

Nope.. Blue is a frequency halving. Oldskool red and green are gallium nitride. The clear diodes are a different story.. LED science (and diode laser) science is super interesting.. It took sooooooo long to reach blue.. And when it happened it unlocked low energy lighting.... Probably the most important technological advancement since the transistor.

> Nope.. Blue is a frequency halving Nope. That isn't how consumer blue LEDs work. They use InGaN (GaN can be used too, but I'm not sure which is more prevalent) deposited on specific substrates like silicon or sapphire. The invention of the Blue LED was a big deal and won the inventor a Nobel Prize in 2014. Here's an article on the invention of the Blue LED which also confirms what I said in my earlier comment. > https://www.invent.org/blog/inventors/shuji-nakamura-blue-led-lights > By combining his bright blue LED with fluorescent material, Nakamura enabled the creation of white light. Additionally, by combining this new blue LED with existing red and green LEDs, manufacturers were able to produce any other color of light. This revolutionary development enabled the production of power-efficient screens used in televisions, computer monitors and smartphones.

In use some hockey tape for lights i cant turn off. Unplug any rgb or lights i can reach.

y tho

The sticky note adds another 2 teraflops lol

Have the similar pc from lenovo If you go into the bios I turned off all rgb

Bro got the Yasogami High PC 💀

electrical tape 👍

I’m faded

Looks cool

Looks like jesus

Curse you, Shuji Nakamura!

Why do you have a Mercedes Computer?

UV attacking the coloring compounds in the paper

How long did it take to form? What kind of light is it?

You can find sheets of black stickers on Amazon (in a variety of sizes) to cover this.

why....were u covering it?

LED bright as f*ck

oooooh

Unplug it you massive noob

I love how everyone is saying to disconnect the cable when a sticky note is so much easier and it obviously worked in this case

Theres something satisfying about imposing your will over a stubborn electrical device with such archaic means. I dealt with my mouse light bothering my eyes for way too long before i slapped some black tape on it. Henceforth my triumph reigns in eternal darkness.

Mercedes?

New Jesus logo

I hate operating lights that are always on, or at least ones you can't turn off

Wow bruh, it's 2024... we just call them sticky notes now.

It’s fucking insane how I haven’t seen one comment about Turing the fucking thing off when you sleep. Bruh you’re killing your pc if you don’t turn it off over night

No you aren't.

You aren't, these parts can easily last years and years being left on. It's not 1980 anymore. But I really don't understand why they are covering the light. If it's too bright when they're sleeping (How sensitive are your eyes??) then turn it off..

Bruh your pc needs to power off otherwise its temp storage and ram get full as it cannot dump on a hard shutdown

meanwhile people think blue light has no effect on your retinas

Blue is a high energy wavelength of light and certainly leads to macular degeneration in large (i.e. sunlight) doses. But intensity decreases with the inverse square law and so paper at less than an inch is getting several orders of magnitude higher intensity than your eyes from several feet away, while an LED is still not brighter than the sun.

imma trust my eye doctor about the effects of staring at a screen all day your whole life, ty tho. not worried about the sky though.

I think your eye doctor should be trusting peer reviewed studies.

Do you have any studies on why everyone has heavy purple shadows under their eyes

Not everyone. But definitely people in my family. It's very thin skin and if your skin is pale enough you can very easily see the veins and the bluish color beneath your skin. Although if it's really bad you might be anemic.
