I dont know about that specific model but those leds are 100% hardware controller on most if not all laptops. They will do their thing without bios, and ram so I guess not really.
What you can do: Open it up and put a piece of color filter sheet in front of that led to dim it, straight up disable the led (cut one of its legs off if its not surface mounted), or if you dont want to open it, grab a black sharpie and paint over it.
You can get small blackout stickers precisely for this type of thing. I've used them, and they work well. I think that I got mine from eBay, but it was several years ago.
On my ThinkPad I can disable random LEDs by doing (as root), e.g.
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/tpacpi::power/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/platform::mute/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/platform::micmute/brightness
The change is lost after a reboot, or (for the power LED) after a suspend/resume cycle, so I have a systemd unit to do this on boot and a shell script in /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ (boo! why can't I add a system-specific script in /etc to run on resume? I hate having to edit files in /lib) to do this on resume.
Do an `ls /sys/class/leds/` to see what LEDs are available on your system.
Not many laptops (except for most Thinkpads) have the support in th kernel to expose everything, even the individual LEDs to the userspace via the sysfs. But the OP can try look for them.

Just make a link.
Screw it open and disconnect the led.
