Ok I just found out that my slim still lives! So here is the mods I plan on doing to it:

Certain Mods:
Blue PulseVU (LED's in triggers and Jewel if I have enough money for one), with own Power Supply.
Screen replace (not really a mod, but you know. Seriously needed)
Faceplate (What colour anyone?)
MoBo LED swap (Blue)

Possible mods:
Jewel
Speakers in place of UMD drive

I will order my parts tonight

I'm not doing dual nub now due to lack of experience.

Sweet! Can't wait to see it. OH and give the speakers in the back sound reactive LED's. What color scheme you going for ?

H-Sauce · « **Reply #2 on:** December 26, 2008, 05:09:58 AM »

Well, I'm keeping th blackplate white, and having Blue LED's in triggers.

LED's are sound reactive anyway due to the PulseVU.

Thats going to look so awesome. Can't wait to see it. Are you going to swap the LED's on the mobo ?

H-Sauce · « **Reply #4 on:** December 26, 2008, 05:16:02 AM »

Yeah, I knew I was missing something. This is my first PSP mod so there's always the chance it could go extremly wrong.

Dude your a moderator, and I don't think that position is given out to anyone. You get plenty of electronic skill and experience....and its a PSP there's nothing to screw up lol.

looking fwd to see.. =)

H-Sauce · « **Reply #7 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:29:13 AM »

Me too :P

I'll post videos of what I've done once I have done those parts.

DarkShot · « **Reply #8 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:58:00 AM »

You know, Im thinkin:

What if you had a blue white colour scheme going?

Like a blue faceplate, blue trim (madded bundle?) with white back, and white buttons.

Add white leds to the triggers (keep them white) and blue for the jewel.

A nice contrasting thing. Sort of like what ghetto did (and ghetto if you read this, know that I'm jealous. That colour scheme is wicked.)

But ya. What you think about that?

H-Sauce · « **Reply #9 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:00:58 AM »

Hmm. Maybe if I put white in the jewel and blue in the triggers? In any case I would like to keep trim standard silver. And my buttons are see through, so maybe put blue LED's into them. White back blue front!

DarkShot · « **Reply #10 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:06:28 AM »

mmm clear buttons/////

Could do an amount with those

H-Sauce · « **Reply #11 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:13:33 AM »

Well I have a white slim don't I.

DarkShot · « **Reply #12 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:17:43 AM »

well ya most if not all oem slim buttons are. I was talking about the under lying colour. So the buttons are white.

When you said it, sounded like you meant you have actual clear buttons.

Still, can do quite a bit with them.

H-Sauce · « **Reply #13 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:20:07 AM »

Oh I get you. Well they would work just like in the triggers.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #14 on:** December 26, 2008, 09:49:14 AM »

perhaps dual nub is a little much for first psp mod? What do u normally mod? Maybe do blue power swap and white charge to go with ur white blue theme?

j.s2ghetto · « **Reply #15 on:** December 26, 2008, 12:22:40 PM »

hahahahahahaha i did read it lol
and yes a contrasting color scheme usually comes out really nice but put a twist in it make it unique a WOOOOOOW psp u kno not saying u can't do that but that is wat i would do i did it that way cuz i thought it would suit my jewel i always mod around my jewel or one part of my psp then move from there usually works like that

and for ur color scheme just mix and match see were blue/white goes good and were it don't and it should come together very nicely

Sorry to disapponit ya'll, Most of the plan Is out the window. All I'm doing is direct contact LED's and hooking em up to the face buttons aand L and R buttons. My soldering iron, LED's, screen and wire have all een order.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #17 on:** December 26, 2008, 01:38:20 PM »

O_O Why, what happened? Finances?

H-Sauce · « **Reply #18 on:** December 26, 2008, 01:44:38 PM »

Indeed... My birthday is on the 26th of january, maybe add the PulseVU to it then.

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #19 on:** December 26, 2008, 01:48:23 PM »

Hmmm atleast do some led swaps - those are cheap as long as you don't screw up your mobo/pobo.

H-Sauce · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2008, 07:24:22 PM »

Well, This thing is in full working condition. I should have my Soldering iron tommorow. I have just run it and got the sound working. Here is the video:

Oops Sorry. For dual nub, you might not wanna attempt that for a LONG time. You have to solder to the tiniest pins ever and if you mess up, you lose a mobo... Perhaps do a full case swap instead of just faceplate - If you do a clear case swap, although it's not gonna be particularly original, you could load it with leds and get a sweet looking psp without investing too much cash.
