extremely bright led!

hi,

just getting a bit annoyed about the x6 pro led:

• while on, the blue led distracts from the screen
• when on standby, the red led is so bright i can't sleep

is there a way to dim the led? or even maybe turn it off completely?

cheers

 

Good idea to dim it during playback....

 

Small piece of back tape
Clear tape(sticky tape) and a ink marking pen(permanent marker)
Cover LED only not complete window.

 

Hi:
press the power key 3 second, and it will power off, the led it will close.

 

hey guys,

thanks for the ideas .. but
@user59: the led is so strong.. it shines around -> this is not a good solution
@spring: of course it is off, when the device is powered off.. but this is no help while ON or on STANDBY .. -> this is not a good solution

a proper solution would be good.. but i am open to more ideas.

 

so, no further ideas then .. hmm ..

 

Be happy it is bright. I've had other players so dim, you can't even tell if the player is on... #fail

 

uhm.. i would prefer no led than this lighthouse ..

 

Problem solved...

 

this is my temporary solution .. but this solution is bullshit

 

Black completely cover, not visible to the ON state.

I have used blue pvc electric tape, visible tiny blue light.

hi @Leoben
do you have it taped only over the LED or over the whole "bit"?
what i am trying to say:

• i would like it symmetric
• but not reducing the remote control's reception (even more)

in general: seams that there are more people being annoyed about this LED.. @zidoo what about developping an LED setting?

 

Remote control work well.

ja, because this is asymmetric, not covering the left bit ..
- this is my temporary solution i already mentioned i have
- and this looks stupid

 

@mirror also mentioned by a lot of people on firmware release 27 .. any chance to fix this as well?

 

yes it is anoying only have two solutions:
1. cover - then the pretty device is looking like a peace of sh...
2. nothing - led is blending
it should be easy to do it via firmware - others can do it as well
so set it in blue and red - so you can dim it too!
if you do it halb bright it is more than okai

 

Hi:
we have only two pin to control the red/blue on/off function, can could not to control the current of led.

 

Well of the led is controlled via a gpio pin on the CPU you can use pulse width modulation to dim the led. In other terms turn it off and on in different ratios creating diming this is very easy to do and it very common method of dimming led's

 

yes thats what i meant GOUJAM - i did not found it anymore

 

It's a very common method I use it on all my products I design to save battery but also to make sure all led brightness is the same on all leds
