Turn off lights.

[Hatashi]

Does anyone know how to turn off the lights of my notebook..?

I mean the Caps. Lock/Num Lock/Charger/Network lights.
I'm on Vista btw.

I'm not sure there is any way to turn off a notebook's indicator lights ... I'm curious as to why you'd want to?

 

[Hatashi]

Well, I want to leave my PC overnight since I'm downloading something, but my mom always gets pissed when I do.

I take it that you are downloading something important at night.
Isn't there anything in control panel for such an item under screen display?

 

[Hatashi]

Yeah.

And there isn't anything under screen display :S.

I can turn off the lights of the screen and close my lid, but the lights are visible.

Can it wait until morning as to not bother your mother?
After all, she is the one cooking your meals, washing your clothes and probably has a full time job which is demanding as heck.
Just my humble opinion....

 

[Hatashi]

Well, yeah it can wait .
Will take a while though haha, 25GB, with a crappy 600kb/sec speed.

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Thanks for waiting Hatashi....Your mom will appreciate it.
25GB.....What are you downloading?
Have a great week-end.

I uploaded my Music/movies on my online storage drive in-case of anything that could happen, (We moved to another place now, before that I had a great, great connection, so I was able to upload all that in maybe 1.5 nights).

Now we moved over I have a silly connection at around 500/600kb/sec, so downloading that is quite a hassle.

And don't worry, I obtained all those music/movies legally .

And a good week-end to you too Wolf ^^.

Piece of black electrical tape over the lights should solve this issue.

Wouldn't that be kinda hard for him to explain when the laptop is on/open? "Uh, it's there so I can leave my computer on without you noticing". *wince*

Hatashi, if your mom really dislikes the idea of your computer being left on overnight, you can just download it in chunks. Although 25GB is pretty painful... I personally would never use online backup for something that ginormous, but to each his own...

My bad, i just thought that the lights were making her mad...not the fact that it was the computer being left on.

You might be right! The OP would have to clarify, but if your interpretation was right then your suggestion was good!

Problem,

Well, I want to leave my PC overnight since I'm downloading something, but my mom always gets pissed when I do.

Semi- solution but still something giving away that the laptop is still on,

I can turn off the lights of the screen and close my lid, but the lights are visible.

Final solution,

Piece of black electrical tape over the lights should solve this issue.

now without lifting the lid or possibly hearing the fan, mom won't know it is still on.

Hide the cord and slide it under your bed. Ok I know but it's an answer. Fabe

 

[Hatashi]

I find, kinda a solution.

I have got this black screen cleaning tissue, that came when I bought my PSP, I fold it in half so its not so big, and put it over the lights, I close the lid, and its hardly noticeable if there is anything.


And guys, I uploaded all that 25GB of stuff when my connection was one of the best that is available in the Netherlands, and trust me, Netherlands is also popular for their Internet providers, so it was not very hard, but never did I expect for us to move and get a more decent connection, not like we are poor or something, we could afford that same connection again, but I think she did not see any need for it.
