The on-board power LED of the PineA64+ is connected via resistor(s) directly to the DC/DC1 power output of the AXP803 Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC). This pin provides the 3v3 output for Nand/eMMC/SDcard/wifi-IO and is also the primary way the PMIC communicates with the outside world that the pine board is properly powered.
You have three ways of disabling this LED> 1) break the land to the LED, 2) remove the LED, 3) remove the ballast resistor in-line with the LED. The better way to get what you want here is to block the light with a small piece of black electrical tape (maybe two layers thick).
The eth0 indicator lights can ofc be covered with black electrical tape to darken them if necessary.
No, there is no post bootup way to configure them off (that I am aware of).
