hey, so i was wondering if anyone has a nice diagram to show me where some good-old soldering points are for some red leds (3.3v?), on a lite-on drive.
thanks, bozoy

I found this on xbox-scene it might be of use, you would want to use the 5v rail and a resistor to get the 3.3v

thats for the hdd, lighting the dvd drive isnt very common, so you might have a hard time finding diagrams. your best bet would be to poke around with a multimeter.

haha oops totally read it the wrong way. well the only real way I could see it is to snag power off the mobo and have them on a disconnect for when you need to take the drive out.

yeah, ill borrow a multimeter from school and figure it out while im waiting for some parts, but thanks anyways!

Here is a link in the tut section that has all the mobo power locations by RDC Mobo power (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=613160) and you could possibly use your multimeter and find some power spots on the dvd drive moobo where the sata cable attaches to the board and steal a 5v line directly from there.
Here (http://dwl.xbox-scene.com/tutorial/Xbox_360-HandC-V1_4.pdf) this has all the connector pinouts, page 9 has the dvd drive sata cable so that would be a good start to start using the meter to check voltages.

^^ will do.
