it is very sweet and i like it alot. but i dont know what LED colors i would get. Im leaning on red.

sorta like the pic below. but silver instead of black.

what do you guys think?

also, i read somewhere about the "jewel" of a psp, is that the thing on the UMD door? For mine it would be a silver ring?
is there a place where i can get these or would i have to make one myself?

also, can anyone tell me everything that i would need, like every tool thats needed to change the housing and add the leds.

I think the red would look great!
As for a jewel, I think You can still get one on shatteredmods forum
Also you need 15 watt iron,flux,solder,30 awg wire,0603 leds,and resistors(It might range depending on the leds you get)And a philips screw driver
Also, lighting the home row is hard, and getting leds on the top where the fake speakers holes are cant be done.And why not do led swaps?

[kidkaos707]

ok then, no home row and top for me... what do you meen by LED swaps?

also, is there a video tut on how to safely take it apart cuz im a little touchy about removing the whole motherboard.

also, is there a way to make the picture below be the jewel?

Led swap, I mean like changing the mem led orange to red, the green led to blue

Well, If your afriad to take it apart, I dont recommend trying led mods yourself just yet
Here is a video
How to disassemble a fat psp

Yeah, use a dremel and glue your jewel in

[kidkaos707]

ok, like the charging  and power led's?

and heres the picture...


im going for a monster hunter theme. i dont know if you know what that is but its a game. and this is one of the official pictures for the game which is why the jewel like this would be great.

[N.W.A4LIFE]

yeah, on shattered mods, just ask to make a custom jewel like that

[kidkaos707]

ahh ok. im not getting the housing until christmas though but im just checking out what i have to do first.
