SuicideCrew Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I was wondering if it's possible to disassemble a Cruzer Micro to paint it and then reassemble it. I know it sounds stupid but I think it would be nice to have it flat black to reduce glare and attention to the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Why does it have to be taken apart to paint it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuicideCrew Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 It's S.O.P when painting just about anything if you don't want to risk it looking crappy. My main reason for wanting to paint it is where the slide is a light lights up when the flash drive is plugged in and it even blinks. It made me think WTF is going on I wanted this to be discrete but that's like saying "Hey look at me I'm flashing." I thought about just covering it with electrical tape when I use it but I'm not always gonna have a roll in my pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 So I guess you wouldn't be interested in one of these: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/flash-drives/tw...ghts-323930.php Even if you paint over the LED, won't you still see a bit of blinking light? Maybe if you do take apart, find a way to disable the led as well before painting the device. I have never cracked one open, but I imagine they could get damaged very easily.
