hey im followign that mod i want to use 4 leds 2 in buttons and 2 in triggers how do i go about doing this and will i need resistors im using blue.. Cheers

also is that the best way to do it as i have lm386 chips

Thats is direct connect it works but your leds arnt as bright compared to hooking up the lm386 witch is a amp for the speakers and gives off power not only to the speaker but the leds keeping your leds bright and not dimming out. It very simple to do just need the lm386 witch you have and 2 resistors 30k ohm and 191 k ohm (could have to resistors to make 191k if not found at your local electronics store). Umm you need 30 gauge kynar wire. There are schismatics on how its all hooked up ill search for it for you unless someone else beats me to it. But for now that something to keep in mind on what you need.

i've seen the schematics thanks but i have trouble reading them :P

[injungleist]

if you are needing help with a good schematic, or need any resistors for the lm386, let me know i have alot of parts for this mod, i also have ones prewired with all the resistors and wires if you are intrested. just PM me.

Lol oh that why well show witch schismatics and ill take few minutes to uhh whats the word explain each symbol.

The best size to use are 0805 LED's. They are a little bigger than 0603 LED's, so they are humanly possible to solder, but they are small enough to fit in the triggers if you drill big enough a hole.There's not much of a difference in brightness between the two types.

Here's a good place to buy them: http://cgi.ebay.com/20-x-ULTRA-BRIGHT-BLUE-0805-SMD-LEDs-SMT-LED-170mcd-mcd_W0QQitemZ150382189228QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item23037a1aac

0603 and 0805 LED Comparison

Alright thatnks for the advice ill get some i'll still try the 603 LEDS though once im a bit more experienced :P

Here's my LED mod My Modded  PSP 1001 With Blue Sound Reactive LED's

Vlad that is awesome nice work

i wanna have mine like that but 2 leds in the buttons to.

I just ordered 15 blue 0803 LEDS from phenoptix, so it shouldnt be too hard.

Can you tell me if u used a lm386 here or just direct contact?

[Vlad]

I did it the direct contact way. I used 0805 blue LED's. I might put two in the buttons and two in the UMD drive.
