Turn off all LEDs on a Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi's are very useful, but I find the LEDs very annoying. In this post, I describe how to disable all LEDs on a Rasberry PI.

• Connect to the Raspberry Pi with SSH

• Open the file /boot/config.txt as admin using sudo nano /boot/config.txt

• Add the following line at the end of the file:

  copy

  # Disable Power LED (Red)
  dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off
  
  # Disable Activity LED (Green)
  dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
  dtparam=act_led_activelow=off
  
  # Disable Ethernet LEDs (Green and Orange)
  dtparam=eth_led0=14
  dtparam=eth_led1=14

• Save the file using CTRL+S and exit using CTRL+X

• reboot the Raspberry Pi with sudo reboot
