Some Acer systems has this neat little LED for showing the LAN status.

Anyway we can DIY this ourselves?

yes u can....
but....
unless u have proper equipment....
its quite a big piece of circuit to put it in a laptop...
if a desktop..
sure

desktop or laptop ??

Desktop.

Even with the pic no one knows?

1st of all..
it is a desktop rite?..
try open the front panel n explore

LoL

It belongs to the college, I cant just simply open it..

Solder LED through wires to the network card light.

Which u have to solder the motherboard too, right. warranty would be voided.

hmm... i think dont mod it better XD really hard + no more warranty if u do it

if u wanna change it, u must open the front panel 1st, then there will be a LED overthere

this is how to do it...






n this is the consequence...

Use sticky tape. Sometimes may not work, bang on it may help. No warranty voided

hmmm... if wanna do it.. den it will keep blinking .... frequent blinking...
not annoying ma?

It's not very bright. I see those on Acer and Dell desktops.

It seems there might be 2 solutions ->

1. Open up these kind of systems, see how it is done.

2. Buy the same motherboard, then connect the "HDD" LED to that. Because I think that only selected motherboards have that feature.
