I'd like to build a small internet radio out of my pi, but I'd like to use it at night, when the flashing LEDs would be disturbing. Is there any way to disable them?

Is a pair of pliers an inappropriate answer? – Alex Chamberlain Jan 9 at 16:30
@AlexChamberlain Fine, a way that doesn't void the warranty! – Tom Medley Jan 9 at 16:31

No

Unfortunately not. The PWR LED, for example, is directly wired to the 5V rail and other LEDs are controlled by closed-binaries.

Sigh, electrical tape it is then. – Tom Medley Jan 9 at 16:33

I know this may sound silly, but a piece of electricians tape over the top would work. Alternatively, put it in a case or box.
