Greetings,
I have a brand new Taichi b650E board. Very nice. One problem. When I turn off the PC, the two round physical buttons on the motherboard - power and reset - are lit up. I sleep in the same room, and I'd rather not have to cover them in electrical tape if possible. How can I kill these lights when the PC is off? This is NOT the LED problem others have asked about - I already set the BIOS to disable LED in S5 state. Thank you for all help!

Wow, they got glowing button on the motherboard itself these days. LOL
I guess they're powered by 5VSB?

Me personally, use a power strip with a switch and connect all the PC-related stuff to it (PC, monitors, amp), and flip the switch OFF when I'm done using the PC. I hate vampire drains. Nothing beats physical switches.

Now, if you make use of WOL (Wake-On-LAN) or other time-based wake-up events, this trick obviously won't work.

Hopefully someone can point to a BIOS option that disables the glowies.

Come to think of it, I never build a PC with transparent side panels (I like my metal electrical shielding), so even glowing LEDs inside the case is unlikely to bother me too much.

Yes, two, and they are very, very bright. Lights up my desk at night. I don't know how they are powered - they are a part of the motherboard itself, can't be removed. I'm hoping to avoid using the power strip if I can, but I'll do that if I have to. I hope someone knows how to control these lights.
