I've never seen the blue :blink: but unfortunately I don't think you can change the color unless you can swap the the back light of the display. Some back light are built with the LCD so you'd have to replace the LCD. I don't know if this is the case.

some guy posted before on how he was gonna do the conversion, but once he got to the back panel, all of the lights were soldered on, so that put an end to that pretty quick... :(
