> Just disconnect the light

Thanks, I'm cured.

1) A lot of laptops are sealed with glue. "Just disconnecting the light" would involve prying layers apart.

2) Companies may frown upon that if you should try to modify a company issue laptop.

3) Disabling a recording indicator may be illegal where you live.

1) Put a tiny dot of Black 2.0, not very noticeable and blocks the light very well.

2) Don't do personal stuff on your company laptop. If the company doesn't let you modify it, joke's on them, only company files will get leaked. Your personal stuff shouldn't be on that laptop.

3) Fuck that, if there are photons you can collect them

Worst case just do the microphone only.
