you can... have a search in this forum this has been asked quite a few times. to do that you'd need to open your console if you don't use any magic switch (or variations of it)

Dont use glue, its the worst solution, i used tape on my slimline, works perfect.
Here is a picture of the switch at the back, just use electrical tape or insulation tape on it:

The image below shows how i used a piece of thin card, and tape to put down the front sensor, which allows me to stop the disk spinning without opening up the condose to remove tape, and it also lets me close the lid:

ask if you need more help.

If you use glue, it wont come off easily, and secondly people have had problems where the switch would accidently be knocked off, if this happens then you wont be able to fix it easily, since some off the parts will be in a awkward position.
