I can't seem to be able to turn off the logo light on my HP laptop. For a while I thought I wasn't turning off the backlight, but found out after taking the screen apart that the backlight was turning off but the HP logo light on the other side was powered by a separate led.

I am running acpi and turn off the backlight through using 'xset dpms force off' command inside the lm_led.sh script.

I do know it can turn off in linux since Opensuse was able to do it when the lid closed. I just don't know the command or what the device would be called. I have tried xsetleds and it doesn't show anything.

Any help or direction would be helpful.

have a look at /sys/class/leds/ if you have support in your kernel.
