Sungmoon, thank you for watching these threads and taking our suggestions into consideration.
Milamber, it isn't that simple because the circuitboard the LED is on sits pretty deep under the cover, and there's only the three small slits that the light goes through. Can only cover all of the grill to stop the light.
Niko, I wouldn't mind a menu option to disable the LED. That way it can keep everyone happy and not have to start juggling two streams of firmware versions for those who need/want the LED and those who don't.
