Ya. What the hell is up with those nasty yellow green LEDs lol. Not very attractive in my opinion. Blue or Red LEDs could be nice.

finally some people that agree!!!!!

i was on a flight yesterday, and saw an HP with lots of blue lights up top.

must have been like 12 of them....it was a little annoying, but i think 1-3 lights wouldnt be as bad...

DAMN THE old school greenies (:

i toook the power button cover off...the lights are tiny, and look a little scurry!!!

I never opened it, but if they are surface mount LED's then good luck, anything else though will be a simple swap of the same type.

they are LED chips, very small and very hard to replace, unless you are good with soldiering and dissasembly

A blue LED require higher voltage than red, green and yellow ones, so it might be not so bright.

^ hmm.. never knew that.

But personally, I don't mind of the Blue/Green LED lights since the laptop is white/silver to begin with, a green/blue led color doesn't look at bad... and to the positive side to the green, it seperates the colors so you know which is which on your laptop (blue is for bluetooth, green is for wifi )
