arhh disaster
« on: October 21, 2008, 09:29:02 AM »
somthing went wrong somewhere.

ok this is what happened.
first i did the pressure activated trigger mod. it worked. i put the lcd cage on and it still worked then i began screwing it in. after that i put my battry in and it came on automatically, pandora style. so i took the cage off, had a fiddle around and put it back on. then those 5 leds went dim. all my leds are wired like this

and this is what it looks like. please help!

here you can see the green light is really dim
 
the umd lights are dim

and the triggers are dim too

thanks toad and indy for the sigglys

Wow start by organizing your wires try seeing if it works when you remove cage cause if it is just find its source and cover it if not resolder your led conections to + and neg

try droping it again
my retared friend fixed by droping it

Uhmmmm no.

Organizing wires wouldn't have anything to do with this. He'd either be shorting, or working. They're obviously working, so his management is okay.
He doesn't need to resolder his connections, cuz they obviously work.

The power led is dim because you're leeching too much power from the power board. That's what most people have found the problem to be, and most solve it by bridging the power led resistor. The other one's might be dim because of the same reason, although I doubt it. Not sure about those.
They were fine in the beginning, right?

Naw, resistor wouldn't make them brighter lol. If he wasn't using a resistor, they might blow. If he isn't, that wouldn't make them dim.

ok so i took it apart again and took the cage off(btw i have resistors on every led their the blue squares). but they were still dim. i soldered off all the leds from my main wires and it was still dim so i narrowed it down to the powerboard. so any ideas why it broke and how can i fix it?

thanks toad and indy for the sigglys
