    Blinking Casefan LED's... possible to be steady on?

    They seem to be working just fine. Spinning well, no funny noises or smells or anything. They are blinking in set patterns. Over, and over, and over again in the same rotation so I'm pretty sure they're suppose to be blinking.

    Blinking Casefan LED's... possible to be steady on?

    I just purchased 2 casefans. Dynex Blue LED Case Fan to be exact. They didn't say on the package that the LED's were BLINKING instead of always on. Is there any way to mod the fans so that the LED's stay on and stop this incessantly annoying blinking?
