Brighter Power LED
« on: January 28, 2008, 07:31:19 PM »
I want my power LED brighter. Do i just bridge the top resistor? and i just accidently ripped off the postive for the power led. the metal contact came off. How do i fix that?

Yes and you will have to find the trace and scratch the paint off it to reveal the trace and solder the led to it...

bridging the resistor is only a temporary solution. it will cause your led to burn out, your better off buying a new led with a higher out put (MCD if im correct)

I think theres no power going to powerboard anymore....I broke the metal part for the power led so i tried to solder it to the resistor. Now it doesnt turn on any LED. i think i will be needing to buy another powerboard... :angry:

There is still power the resistor u wire the led to is negative what u need is a positive power and a negative here is a pic (its not mines got it from dealextreme):

u see the little black things in the green box those are the resistors top one is for poweron the bottom for charging these resistor are negative the place in the red polygon is a postive source so u could easily scratch then wire a piece of wire from there to the led and it should work 
P.s. if u wanna use 1 led for chargin and power on just bridge both resistor together with a blot of solder

Ok thanks but i already tried that and it didnt work. I soldered to the resistor and the other end to soemwhere the the red area. i think theres no power going to that area anymore.

ok if u say so.......or if u want try bridging the powerboard by running a wire from the 5v spot on the mobo to the powerboard that might work
