I got the same sorta problem. Except when i wired an unresisted led to the wifi and to the ms resister and the led obviously burned out...then after that my ms led didn't work either :( and now i try to do a led swap with the wifi and it worked fine for about 5 minutes then it went dim and i know the led isn't burnt out because i tested it when i un-soldered it...

It should just be a matter of resoldering the leds or getting new ones. I don't think you can blow anything up (unless your going mad with the solder iron, i'm known to do that, lol) have a look around the area you have worked on to see if there is any damage.

use desoldering braid, u place it on the solder, and heat up the other side with your soldering iron and thats its. simple

I think what i mightv done is soldered the contacts off or at least for my wifi led and my resister is just screwed for my ms led >.> but i might be wrong

So it seems alot of you are having issues with the ms and WiFi led swaps, heres a pic that really helped(thankx to 4dP)

Yeah I've been busy with school >.>. Also if you've seen my other posts I made a while back you'll know I have a problem with my d-pad not working. But I got it to work one day when I was playing round so I didn't really want to play with it any more. And as you know the resister I need to bridge it directly under it xD. So I'll get to later, just wanted to confirm thats what I need to do.
