Dell Studio 17: stop blinking LED

Does anyone know how to prevent my Studio 17 from blinking the side power LED button when in standby?

It drives me nuts.

Short of physically disconnecting the LED from the switch, I dont think there is anything you can do apart from cutting a circle of good quality black electrical tape and covering the led up :P

Since you know where the power switch is, having black tape over it would do the trick - but probably may detract from the appearance of the laptop.

Do that all do that (all the studio series) coz it'll drive me nuts too when I get my 15.
