Onyx T68: How to easily disable the frontlight hardware physically (Small tutorial)

NOTE: this is a very simple procedure, but since you have to open your device there're some risks. I'm not responsible if something goes wrong.

After a very long time I found a way to disable the frontlight hardware. I've never used it and I have always found it annoying (I felt uncomfortable when it was on) and I don't know why it turned sometimes on automatically. I want to share with you this trick: you have to disconnect simply the small cable you can see in the picture. I don't know if it was necessary but I've commented (#) all lines about the light in init.freescale.rc file, repacked boot.img file and pushed it in my device as well.
