Hi Jono,

There is a trace on the rear of the PCB you can cut to disable the power LED (and solder pads to bridge if you want to reenable it later). @Michael mentioned it in another PiicoDev thread I’ve linked below.

There is a less destructive way to disable the Power LED - Cut the jumper labelled PWR LED on the rear side of the board: [image] A hobby knife or razor works well. Be careful not to cut anywhere outside the pill-shaped outline. You can solder across this jumper to re-enable the power LED later. I’ll update product listings to ensure this feature is more obvious.
