Amen, brother.
I hear you. At my last job, I frequently had to visit one of our London hosting facilities. The racks behind ours were full of 2u boxes with glaring blue LEDs, each kicking out with the apparent blaze of a star going supernova. If you looked at one of the little buggers, you ended up with a glowing dot permanently seared onto your retina.

Amen to that
I've got a router with blue LEDs. They're bright enough to be beacons to an alien world. I put some black electrical tape on there to seal them off. It blends in so well with the router that it isn't even noticeable. But it leaves me with no LEDs at all.

Solution
Use a felt-tipped pen to darken the led. It will let through just enough, but not too much, light.

broken chainsaw
a broken engine means you'll need to knock it out with your saw. I'd prefer a plain old hammer, myself. You can use the sharp end if you feel vindictive.
