general electronics question

[psppunk]

this is kinda DS related, but not

the DS puts out 30v of power to a single backlight, so how is it that leds can be plugged into that (the backlight) without burning out?
low amps maybe? does anyone know?

dude the battery only supplys like 7 volts 

And if you stick an led to the backlight, the back light wouldnt work

[psppunk]

actually the battery gives closer to 3.7 volts
and the backlight does get 30v, test it with a multimeter
the backlight is made up of LEDs, which is what im asking about

I tried it, It messes up the touch screen

[psppunk]

you tried testing it? and it messed up the touchscreen?
mustve done it wrong, because mine works fine
either way, you only need to test for a small amount of time

the backlight connections run a PSP backlight perfectly and all thats in that circuit are 7 white leds and a surface mount component i cant identify
