I have a Slick Stick CP with a light up trackball. The trackball serves as the computer's mouse and is lit up whenever the computer is on. The PC is hidden behind my MAME rig and I'd like to leave it that way. It's difficult to reach the power button, so I just leave it turned on (at night I turn the TV and speakers off). What I'm concerned about is the trackball light burning out. Does anyone know how long these bulbs tend to last? I would like to leave the PC turned on for about a week at a stretch.

What kind of light is it? If it's an LED it'll last a long, long time.

Not sure what type of light it is.

I forgot to mention that the computer (for some reason) does not go into standby mode, so that's not an option.

Open it up and take a look.
