Hi i need help not getting caught when im autoing i close the screen and the stereos but the light sometimes give me in...
I can put it so that you can't see the light but when they but it normally again i get caught
so i was wondering if there was anyway of turning those stupid lights off when im autoing and put them back on...
I know that this is not propably possible but if it is please tell me so i won't get caught autoing:)
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but there may be programs out there to help you achieve this; use google.
Alternatively you could cover the light up with something or open up the computer and see if it is possible to manually detach the LED (presuming its an LED, if it is then I would suggest if you are going to replace it to use a similar value fixed resistor instead of the LED)
it would be nice if wouldn't have to mess inside the computer with the leds because:
1: i would have to fix it back
2: not actually my computer
3: i could mess it up really bad...
but ill try google any good ideas of what should i search for???
You want some kind of hardware control program, I know you can get them to specifically control the parralel ports and you want something similar to control LEDs connected to the motherboard
Hmm..There's not much lights to cover? :)
If u turn off:
Monitor, speaker, mouse(pull off. :D), keyboard(usually press numlock.), and there will be only computer activity light and power light. If i wud be u...hmm put there ur slippers or sport bag or towel or something.
IMPROVISE! :D ;) :p
Eerik.
If you mean that the light from your screen (moniter) is too bright, just turn it off. Yes your screen can be turned off and SCAR will run fine.
i've had that trouble before, open your computer, take off your hard drive for a while (just unscrew the screw) and cut the wires connected to light..
Just cover the lights with some post its or something, thats what I did so they light doesn't bother me when im sleeping! :)
electrical tape.
thats how it goes :P
who would catch you?
Your parents are checking to see if the computer is off?
Turn off monitor speakers, numlock, tape over power button.
We leave our computers on all the time.
wouldn't they hear the fan/hard drive/processor/(INSERT ITEM HERE) any way
Like I know my compy is noisy so you can tell its on...
To solve that install a better quieter fan
Here is a link to quiet your computer (I'm assuming desky)

confused :confused:
That's why it's good that I sleep in my own room and my parents don't check me. :) I don't know of a way to turn off your case's lights.
the biggest thing you can do is
not tell anybody in game you are autoing..
your dumb and just trying to get 10 posts...Quote:

If you want to go really far, you can just open your case, and remove the wires that go the the LED Lights. Make sure not to unplug all the electrical wires that go to the power button block, just the ones that power the LEDs, or else your power button will cease to work
Well i have a friend who's parents dont what his Comp to stay on over night
-He unplugs light connections so no light can be shown but
-He's Comp is very noisy he oppned it removed the fan cleaned it good then screw all the screws properly and now its how an almost undetectable sound
that can't be heard from far
-If it doesn't work best alternative it to buy a new Fan
Remember to clean all over the computer usually a lot of dust after long time
me so sneaky xD i have a computer in my room i auto with all the time and i have dark certain so the light will stay in i can basically auto anytime i want!
just get good at it like i am i have a 100ft cat5e running under the house into my room ;)
Yeha, i have the "Really Noisy Fan" problem. =[
set ur computer to hibernate ..only vista OS
Turn off your monitor?
I would suggest putting some not-very-adhesive tape on the light, so you can take it off later. (NOT duct tape)
Sounds like you've got a laptop? Just hide it under a couch ;)
if its a laptop, theres a setting, right click your desktop > properties > screen saver > power.
make sure it says never turn off hard disks, standby, or hibernate.
then click the advanced tab and where it says 'when i close the lid on this portable computer' make sure it says 'do nothing'
if it works, you should just be able to run it and close your monitor and it will still run, but the screen will be off.
works for laptops, i do it because my laptops in my room and i want it off to sleep
Lol, cuz there's a lot of mosquitoes over here in summer, i just put a small book in front of the light, push my chair against the book so you cant see it, and turn up the fan to really high so the fan will drown out the noise of the fan inside my computer.
Problem is, my internet is froma router, and the router is in my parents room,a nd they switch it off for the night. lol
hmm i have a problam i have a noisy fan but my laptop get really hot any ideas
Id never get away with it, my computer makes too much noise.
Try cleaning ur fan..It will make a difference if u havnt cleaned it in a while..And try and disconnect the cables to the led lights..no dmg will be done just run ur fingers through the cable on the mobo..the connector should be small..And if ur comp/laptop is that noisy try puttin a flat piece of card board underneath the base unit
If Its mainly the lights that are the problem, try applying some electrical tape over the area. It comes off very cleanly, and no light can get through. If you try something very large to block your computer, you may cause it to overheat if you accidentally block a fan.
Good Luck
If it's because of a fan, you could just do what I do and remove the entire side panel from my computer :)Quote:

How you make it quite is by getting a cardboard box and filling the inside with egg cartons (empty!). Dampens it quite a bit. If there aren't cartons, use uhm... Can't think of anything.
i use a laptop and i can make light dark, if running vista this is what i suggest i hope i dont get hate things for this, use SMART because when mydad wants to use the PC(best for autoing than my lappy) i use smart minimize and switch user and it still runs then i can leave overnight on my dads acc if i want and go on mine later
scar will still run when you hibernate on vista??????
oy, stop grave digging. uv done it 3 times now.
me?

As for the lights, unplug the monitor (or just hit the power button to the monitor), open the case and unplug the HDD and PWR LED connectors, If the computer is on, you could unplug every little light connector with little problem, just realize that you'll have to plug in the power connector sooner or later.
Since I use wifi in my house I usually hide it in the most random places...
Toilet, kitchen... etc :p
Places where nobody would go at night and where your parents can't hear ^^
behind my tv ftw :)
In my experience, if i get caught I die basically. So when I do get caught, I leave my comp off for a few days so im trusted again then I go back and bobs your uncle, fannies your aunt... Over night run pl0x?
