i bought my inverter from coolight.com

http://www.coolight.com/product-p/cl-imc-1.5ft.htm

i got 5 of them and i ended up destroying 3 out of the 5 before i was able to strip the case off to a point that would work well. after i striped the case i used some heat shrink to insulate it.

Strip Casing
Heat Shrink
Would I be able to solder it to the same points as LEDs would go? And have Hold turn it off? Im guessing yes...
How exactly does the EL wire connect to the inverter?
I REALLY want to do this.

yes you will be able to sound mod it, hold switch, just so long as its on the dc side of the inverter

check this out for how to solder

theoretically yes you need a resistor, but im not using one, so im expecting the inverter to burn out. i don't use that psp much seeing as i have 2 others. plus the cool mods buttons i got for it suck and aren't that responsive. so i use it more as a show piece.

The company i work for used to stock EL wire in NZ!!
But sadly they discontinued it before i started working there and there is none left in any of the other branches  :cry2:

Anyway i have been interested in working with EL wire and am looking to do a PSP mod with it myself at some stage (time/money) lol.

Also due to high demands for ELwire at work we may be stocking it again (if ppl higher up agree) so maybe i can get from here instead of coolwire.com

Anyway let ya know

i think i would be a B to put the tape in a psp, but it would be cool to line the bottom of a ps2 with it. would have a nice under glow/back lit effect
