Absolutely, there are many options beyond taping it.

No issue unless the device supports it (which I doubt), there’s nothing to turn off that light. It’s quite small—no bolts to remove, so opening it might scratch or harm the outer casing.

It probably lacks dedicated software with permission to use the LED. You might need to turn it off manually.

I understand your concern about damaging plastic with a soldering iron. It’s important to ensure a clean hole for safety and precision.

It would be even more chaotic than scraping the surface, damaging your iron tip, leaving a foul odor, and I'm not sure what issue you're addressing—could you be trying to burn the LED? That might cause a short in the adapter. Duct tape or a black marker are usually the simplest solutions!

They probably told you not to touch it, which made my response quite harsh. I was trying to desolder the bulb, but I’m unsure if it might cause problems.

A pointed tool struck the plastic/glass to sever the bond wire... Or a small drill was used.
