The Sony Vaio's green power light is extremely bright and very distracting! I can't even look at the screen without this power light being in my view!!

Is there any way to disable it or reduce its intensity? Googling for "sony vaio disable green power light" (and similar combinations) didn't provide anything useful. I tried booting into the BIOS, but it didn't have an option for this. Also, the Viao Command Center didn't have any on it.

I guess sticking a tape over the LED is the only option?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
