PSP LED Swap Help
« on: July 31, 2008, 11:17:40 PM »
Hey guys, I just finished doing an LED swap for the power/charge lights on my psp but they look a little dim.

Is there any way to make them brighter without risking burning them out? I'm thinking of bridging the resistors. Any help or pictures would be great!

Yeah I used 0603's and pretty much followed Neubits LED swap tutorial word for word, I'll post pictures later but for now, any ideas?

I used the same LED's for the WIFI/memstick so could it be just a bad set of LED's? or could it be a connection? The power light is dim, that's the one where you have to solder an extra wire. Any ideas?

EDIT::
With the faceplate off, the power/charge leds are as bright as the wifi and memstick (which is what I want) it just gets a lot dimmer when I put my faceplate back on. It's the stock plate so I don't know what's wrong with it. My LED placement is the same as in the tutorial for this.
Sorry, I should have been more specific with my initial question.

Its probly not a bad connection but if its really not bright enough you c an bridge it

It will be REALLY bright after u do so i should take some kynar and touch the ends and make sure you can live with eh brightness lol

But if you bridge it it makes the LEDS life a lil shorter but it should be fine :)
