so yesterday on youtube i saw a guy named loahar (psp modder) and he had 3rd gen leds..THEY WERE ULTRA BRIGHT . He has different ohms or leds or something?

What's a 3rd gen led? Different brightness could be due to different MCDs, resistors, or just the fact that the camera makes them look bright.

Wow one is really bright, but the other is much dimmer. Probably wired them in series or something, with a low ohm resistor.

with those 191k and 30k resistors my leds wouldnt glow like the 3rd gen in his vid right?

Oh just read the video description. I didn't before. I have no clue. I think it's really just the wiring though, because look at the description of their led mod on their site:

http://playurconsoles.com/shoppingcart/product_info.php?products_id=500

They say that this is special because there is no light when there is no sound, and they say that they designed this "new revolutionary circuitry". I have no clue how much truth is in this though.

ya, if theres no light when theres no sound they did ut differently. on the 1001, the leds are always on, since current is always flowing through the speakers. must have don it with a sound board, etc...

and maybe one brighter cause the other led isnt placed correctly ie. facing inwards

as i said the right one was 1st gen, and left one was 3rd gen. i read what bustingthejusting coped for me and it was a different circuit not what you said...oh well

My link is the service they were showing off. They use basically same videos/pictures. But I have no clue. I'll bet you 100 bucks though, that it was designed by AM, not whoever owns that site.

No its laohor86... He is from Singapore excellent modder...

What could AM have designed that he stole? How to make LEDs brighter. Its called experimenting with different leds, circuits, sound amps and resistors not using the one that you are told. And it obviously worked very well.

Hey AM DID start PSP Modding but that was years ago, there are lots of people that do it and develop new cool things. PSPGEN has a razorX tut and we don't, but we made the board doesn't mean they stole it. We aren't the only PSP Modding site anymore...
Alot of people have basic modding knowledge..

This guy is pretty amazing.
Like this, PURE GENIUS.

ye he is a modder.....in his site stuff is pretty expensive tho....but his modded psps are very cool, and he gives them "names" lol

Its not that expensive, its in Singapore money, 1 SGD is 60 US Cents.

You mean the guy who did the mod and ran the site? Yeah. I suppose it's really just the resistors he used/board... Anyway, he does seem pretty good at modding. I know we aren't the only modding site anymore. Pspgen AND Pspmod both have Razor X tuts, actually.

so awesome, but I worried my led s won't stay longer if I make it brighter,

& I can't play comfortable with too much led, irritating my eyes,..

armis · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2008, 08:17:17 AM »

im gonna mod a psp where it has a broken screen...so im gonna use it like a display for fun. not gonna use it for other stuff hehe.. gonna remove umd drive and put 5mm leds there (uv and red) tell me if it would look good.

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2008, 08:51:34 AM »

I don't think they r making them that much brighter the r just making them react better but IDK i think i am going to do a lil experiment on how to do this going to get resistors at radioshack today and some other lil things to get started wooooooooo

armis · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2008, 09:00:29 AM »

j.s2ghetto do u think UV and red leds would look good in the umd area? im gonna buy a case and remove those metal things but leave the silver ring.

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #19 on:** December 14, 2008, 10:05:58 AM »

Ya RED and UV always look good it gives gaming systems this MEAN look i was going to do a psp like that a while back wit a rottweiler jewel but i never got to it LOL

But Ya RED and UV would be perfect i would suggest buying 3mm/5mm LEDs from radioshack so u don't have to wait and because its hard to find those colors really bright in 0603 or any SMD LED size

If u need any help i with that project just let me kno

armis · « **Reply #20 on:** December 14, 2008, 02:27:08 PM »

ive bought 2 red and UV already .... was quite expensive in radioshack....
i have no idea where to solder everything lol. like from the amp to mobo.
and im almost done with the amp (sound mod) just have no idea if the wire on right 4th pin has to be negative or positive and also 4th pin on left . so if u could help me on that.
and 1st pin on left side is not used and 1 and 2 pins on right side are not used right.

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #21 on:** December 14, 2008, 04:51:02 PM »

the 4th pin on the right is the positive to ur leds and the 4th on the right is the GND which is the negative

armis · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2008, 06:25:48 PM »

and the 3rd right pin i solder to 5v power point right....but how do i find it?

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #23 on:** December 14, 2008, 07:27:02 PM »

armis · « **Reply #24 on:** December 14, 2008, 07:55:50 PM »

so that is the point to solder the 5v wire...doesnt matter what color it is right..

123sample · « **Reply #25 on:** December 14, 2008, 08:07:53 PM »

Yes, but don't forget to put resistance, I put 100 for my UV

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #26 on:** December 14, 2008, 08:11:08 PM »

ya that is the 5v and wat u mean by the color like the wire or wat

armis · « **Reply #27 on:** December 15, 2008, 03:19:59 AM »

so for the led id have to put in 100k resistance? so id solder it from 4th (left? right?) pin then to led?

123sample · « **Reply #28 on:** December 15, 2008, 03:55:30 AM »

nonono, 100k too much,

it's up to you, choose between this range

10 < ------- > 100 R

Bright Dim

armis · « **Reply #29 on:** December 15, 2008, 11:56:28 AM »

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062338 is it something like this? thats for UV and for red?
and 30k and 191k off the AMP is for those small leds....what if i want my UV and red 5mm leds to be sound reactive too...how do i do that? How do i connector everything aaaahhh.......SO confuzzling.. ill be 50 b4 i finish this
