Hello, I would like to know how to disable the LED lights on the central unit (the little lights) because when I put my computer in hibernation, the "POWER" button on the central unit blinks and it bothers me a bit...

Thank you in advance,

    You need to disconnect the corresponding wire on the motherboard, normally labeled "POWER LED". This wire is often very thin, and the documentation for your motherboard will be a good help in finding it.

    In parentheses, I find it a bit silly not to have an LED for that: can't you put something in front of the CPU when the system is in standby?

    In fact, I am deprived of video games, and if the LED is turned off when I quickly put it in sleep mode, it's as if it were turned off, thank you anyway :) but I was thinking more about a software... I'm just a kid and messing around with the insides of the PC scares me.

    Exactly, LEDs are made for that! It's impossible to cheat...
