Take the two screws out of the back, separate the case with a flat head screw driver, plug the unit in to locate the light (it is a small square piece on circuit board), pop the piece off with a tweezers or flat head, reassemble. I wouldn’t have tried it if the thing hadn’t been a gift, but it worked.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Solution: return it if you can. Awful product. 100% regret buying it. My kid stares at the light for hours and I can’t turn it off, I can’t understand why anyone would make such a terrible design. I cut the top of a black sock and used it as a sleeve to cover the non-stop blinking light and now it look super tacky over my babies crib but it’s a lot less annoying. Also, the monitor is way too bright even at the lowest brightness setting. It’s hard enough getting any sleep while nursing a newborn, Motorola has made it torture with this device. I had to buy two strips of light dimming sheets. 0 stars, 2 thumbs down for Motorola, and I’m making sure I write a terrible review everywhere I can with the hope that it will save many parents and babies from this torture.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Those are my complains as well in a way I must warn you: don’t buy it. It does not make any sense to have a baby monitor that you can turn off lights and sounds, that really wakes my kid up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What we finally did was covered it up with “white out”… not a 100% but reduced light by 90%
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For the last few months, my young toddler has been waking up 1-2 times a night extremely upset. It was only until recently that he’s been able to communicate that this flashing camera light is scaring him any time he wakes up. When I thought about it from his perspective, of course he’s scared. The bright and slow blinking creates shadows around his little room causing his imagination to run wild. Whoever designed this camera should be fired, it’s garbage and somewhat cruel. If you’re like me and can’t return it (I think I paid $300 for this!), I followed the directions of one poster and “fixed it”. 1) remove the two screws on the back and careful remove the back exposing the board. Don’t pull it apart too hard because the plastic clips holding it together are brittle. Carefully work it apart using an ultra thin slotted screwdriver 2). Once the board is exposed, plug it in and turn it on so you can identify the tiny little square that creates the red and blue flashing light. It’s tiny! 3). Using a sharp knife (I used the tip of a box cutter), pick that little square off. Removing it doesn’t impact any other operations. Note, you’ll no longer be able to tell if the power is on via the blue light. Honestly though, who cares. You can just check the position of the on/off switch instead 4). Carefully reassemble the unit This will solve the problem but it’s very disappointing. Inevitably, no matter how careful you are, you will scratch the unit so it no longer appears new and pieces will break off. To future readers, hope this helps. To Motorola, you should be ashamed that you produced this. Do better !
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Take apart the unit as they recommended below. It’s only 4 screws to unscrew. No need to clip any wires. Just locate the light after plugging the unit back in and cover it with about 10 tiny layers/pieces of duck tape or could use white out of anything else that may work to cover it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We cut an arc of electrical tape exactly the size and shape of the light and covered it. Worked perfectly without having to disassemble the camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I literally opened the camera (2 screws) and popped the tiny LED light out. You need to plug it in when it’s sort to locate the light, but no more light. It’s light torture blinking….
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I covered the awful blue light with tape and didn’t realize til too late that I couldn’t hear anything even though the speaker dots were not covered. I found my granddaughter crying and scared bc she couldn’t find me. So watch out for that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Here's how I did it: On the rear of the camera, unscrew the two screws. Pull apart the housing (you'll have to pull kind of hard and a bit of plastic might snap off, but it wont damage the internals). Unscrew the two screws holding the circuit board to the housing. Pull up on the circuit board from the edge closest to the base/stand. On the reverse side of the circuit board, locate the blue LED (plug in the unit until it starts blinking and you'll see where it is). Using a sharp tool or hot soldering iron, pick at the LED until it's dead. Re-assemble and you're done.
