I just started researching the mods on this site for the psp. I really liked the idea of the clear UMD door with lights behind it. Since at the moment there is no way to buy a jewel, I was looking for things that could be used instead. My thought was one of the plastic covers on the UMDs. One side has the hole the laser reads the disc through so that side wont work but the other side only has the UMD sticker which may be removable (havnt tried). It is 59mm instead of the 52mm that the jewels are but a slightly larger hole would fix this. Also i was wondering if it would be possible to cut a CD case and use that.---------------------------------------------------------------------edit: this guy has seemed to thought of my ideahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4DL22q8OZM&mode=related&search=
I think ill go with a piece of plexi from Home Depot. Johnny5, what did you use to cut the plexi into a circle, a Dremel tool? Is it ok to use 5mm (like http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062572&cp=2032058.2032233.2032298&parentPage=family) LED in the door mod? Only one though instead of two. And does the door mod need a resistor the tutorial doesn't have anything about supplies. As far as I can understand, there is a 5V power source and a 3.6V source. The LED in the above link has a voltage of 2.1-2.8v and a max current of 30mA. Using the resistor calculator and these characteristics, I determined that if I use the 5V source I need a 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor. Is this correct and possible to use.
