Ive found a switch on an old mod chip im going to try and install on mine and there is a nice little spot for it withing the battery area. if you look where the battery goes there is a little gap in the bottom right corner, this is just big enouth for the switch and it will not get in the way of the battery.

Yeah thats pretty neat, for mine i think ill just set the LEDs to come on when its on, and skip the extra hassle... i see how that can be convenient though, i dont know if you have the same problem but the battery cover on my PSP is a little difficult to get on and off... maybe its just me but i guess if you wanted to have a switch it would be best to put it somewere hidden from view...

that modd chip swich sounds pretty cool, and im pretty sure the screw dirver size is #000 i found a small swich which looks like it might fit in the little gap were he stuffed the transister

is it possible to use the round, 3 millimeter LEDs instead of surface mounts, i have some of those and there much brighter

is it possible to fit a tine switch in so when u push the power button to hold it hits a switch that turns the leds on...then u can put the power button back to normal and when u want to trun the LEDS of u flip it to hold a gain???

you mean to put it on hold to turn them on, then when you want them off put it on hold again? i dont see why not, i think a toggle switch would work...

why are there so many different symbols for one electronic thing, its confusing and annoying

is there like a materials list for this mod? all i see is they need the 0603 led. what else.

[illicit]

is it possible to connect an "x" amount of leds when the power is green and an "x" amount of leds when the power is orange at the same time? like for example when you turn on the psp 2 leds come on and if you charge the psp 2 other leds come on. that would be cool.

All you would have to do is hook the ground for the leds you want on while charging to the ground of the orange, and the ground of the leds you want on with the green light to its ground.

At lest i think, might wanna have it check by someone who knows what there doing.

??? can anyone help. can someone provide me with a materials list for this mod. this is a very nice hot mod and would be a challenge to do which i like. please a material list.

[psper]

since no body is giving a list i will try to help you best i can even though i havent finished my mod yet. first you will need a drill and bit some glue to glue the led into the hole you drill you will need a transparent psp faceplate some leds, wire and a 10 ohms resistor. since now i got a 2nd psp i will be gettingto work on the led mod a umd door mod and i want to try putting 4 speakers into the psp but i dont know anything about wiring speakers

hi.. i have dont up the led for the trigger button but have a problem with solderin on the board, the solder just wont stick.. any tip on how to overcome this.. i read u say solder cleaned first.. but i dont reall get it.. pls explain thanks alot.. btw i uses a alloy 60/40 solder.. so is it ok..

[janrocks]

Usually if solder doesn't want to stick it is either because your iron isn't hot enough..or there is a layer of varnish over the point you are trying to solder to.. give the connection point a careful scrape with a sharp point/blade and try again..

[cueball]

thanks.. i gotta scratch the vanish layer off to get it to solder.. at last after 3 hrs of solderin i got it to work tks man
