Put tape over the place where the LED shines through the plastic, to prevent the "Bleeding", bleeding is that blue spot you see that shines through the plastic.

well, i suppose u could add as many as u want, but dont overload it. just remember the more u have the faster the batteries will go dead

EDIT: GAH wenever i put the covor on the led comes off

whuthefxk · « **Reply #16 on:** June 18, 2008, 09:43:59 PM »

do u think it is possible too fit leds in the C and Z button of the nunchuck controller? will it interfere ? maybe use 0603 instead of 3mm?

tmandt · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2008, 11:47:23 PM »

yes it is possible to do it. you can use 0603 if you want its just gonna be harder to soler the lil led. its your choice though if you need any help just pm me ok

Ch4rL13 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2008, 03:39:31 PM »

i dont see how 0603 are hard to solder lol, i was going to do this with 3mm but the metal thing wasnt long enough and i didnt have the patience to get some kynar lol
it will all work tho

tmandt · « **Reply #22 on:** July 08, 2008, 05:38:01 PM »

thanks i really hoped i helped alot of people!

xSLICKVICx · « **Reply #23 on:** December 16, 2008, 08:06:20 PM »

hmm i dont know if it was just me but my wiimote mobo was totally different from yours(maybe this is because i recently bought my wii) so if anyone has a different mobo then tmandt all you need to do is get some wire and a led(i used smd it doesnt bleed thru the plastic) attach the positive wire to the positive metal battery thing and do the same to the negative but attach it to the negative metal. then simply wrap the wire around the mobo and place it the same place as the pic that tmandt took. When wrapping the wire around the mobo make sure you dont put it in the wholes because when it comes back to screwing the wiimote back in place you may break your wire.Hope that helped some people with the same problem as me

Bumping is bumping a topic. Self explanatory. Don't post in a topic that's older than 2-3 months. It's also against the rules, alright?
