The light was that bright that I had to turn the N73 before going to sleep because of the distraction by that light. My next purchase was the Razer Arctosa gaming keyboard which uses one ultra bright white LED in the top left corner of the computer keyboard. And guess what; It is not possible to turn off that light either.

Now I’m no expert when it comes to usability and quality control but I’m beginning to wonder if I’m overly sensitive to LED lights or if the manufacturer’s quality control fails big time.

The only working way of dimming down those bright LED lights was to use – preferably black – tape placed directly over the light. Do you know of other devices that have annoying blinking LED lights that cannot be turned off?
