Brother can crawl now

Hes addicted to the glowing apple logo on the back of my macbook, he wont leave me alone, he wants it lol.

How can I turn it off?

You can't unless you dim your screen all the way, in that case the MacBook is rendered useless.

r.j.s · Nov 10, 2009, 01:05 PM

You can't.

It's powered by the light from the screen.

You can't turn it off. The glow is from the LED's that backlight the monitor. Turning off your monitor will turn off the glowing Apple, but then it's kinda hard to see anything on the screen

Your best bet is to just get some heavy cloth and cover it up. Out of sight, out of mind!

Say the following to your brother: "Listen, you are 32 years old and you have to stop being attracted to bright lights".

Tape a piece of cardboard over it?

Get a really silly privacy device

Or tape / thin cardboard (using tape that won't leave a residue).

Or do the Alias thing, photo near the button. See red dots

Put tape or paper over it like they do in those commercials where you're not supposed to know it's actually a mac.
