I beleive I did exactly what is described in the article this morning with no change in the lights blinking when the machine is off. I will go through it again tonight when I get home and post another update.
However selecting black/off for the lighting color for those zones is really just a workaround for a problem, not a fix.
It appears Dell/Alienware has no intention of fixing the issue with Command Center / MIO boards to prevent this from happening from the start. But as long as they are not on when the machine is off I can live with it.
I have a dispatch in progress and a tech coming out next week to replace the MIO board anyway to see if I get lucky and get one that actually works properly.
