Welcome to common sense... I'm in the software world and have to ask myself and customers what is the common sense as to what you really want.  I will confess I have asked the programers for this or that and they come down to common sense.

Hey Mikeebob, You can turn off the blue light while scanning BUT it turns the light off so you can not see anything.  Go to menu and on top right side of LED screen you will see 20 "WT-LED".  My is on blue like yours.  Move it to OFF with up down arrows.  Hit menu again to save.  
 
Now get your flashlight out to see the screen.  How when you hit a signal you will see the other colors you set up... I like the blue as it tells me it is scanning.  As OldRadioGuy said does not draw anything in power.  Get a bigger battery.  I have my 805G scan for two days and had 1/4 power left.
 
Hope that helps.

The LED backlight probably draws only 2-5mA.
So I wouldn't worry too much about it.
 
I had a blue indicator LED on a piece of production lab equipment that I designed.
The LED's keep getting more efficient.
People were complaining that it was too bright.
We finally turned it down to under 2mA.

That's design flaw. Nothing you, or I can do.

MozartMan, this happen to me over the Christmas holiday and could not get help from BTWR as they where closed...  So being an computer guy, I just took the saved CHIRP file I made before making any changes...  It fixed it and then reprogramed and all is working... Send me a PM with you email address and I will send you a virgin factory CHIRP config file for you to upload (send) to your 805G...
