switched led mod!

[thecauseandeffect]

so today i started and finnished my first mod
i did the led buttons, triggers, and blue power light
but i wanted to be able to turn them off so i could save my battery
so i can either have them light up when the system turns on, or not
here are the pictures!


one you can see in this one that the switch is where the strap is supposed to go

also, these were all run on 1 power source
*thanks to acid mods for these ideas!!*

hey nicely done there

[thecauseandeffect]

has anyone else done the switch?

[Timmy]

yup

i know rocky has and so have i and im sure others have

its a good idea and well done on installing it

[thecauseandeffect]

i guess this post can be deleted since it isnt anything new, i just posted in the "show us your ds" instead

[PspKicks316]

Why would you delete it...?

[Timmy]

it doesn't matter if it isn't anything new at all bro

its ds related and thus belongs here

yeh your aloud to post your console and mods however you like. the thing we dont like is when people make a topic asking a question that has been asked a 100 times before. we love to see modders at work and anything they do as with each mod there is a slight difference in how it looks or its placement which in the end will go towards people learning new things and thus a modding nirvana where people use the perfect placements and the best point and parts etc. its all about community and contribution. and in the process having loads of fun

hope that helped answer your questions and further your understanding.

Have a nice day from your local administrator

well after just a several days of hardcore tetris-ing, my a button stopped lighting up...is this common?

[seikene]

Bad contact? Weak Soldering Joint?LED blew up somehow? It could be a number of things, but I'd take into the first 2 things I said there into consideration.

[thecauseandeffect]

i figured it was the soldering... which it turns out it was, but i was just wondering if it were the case that almost no matter how good the connection, it would it just be prone to breaking again?

[thecauseandeffect]

well as it seems that i am "chasing the dragon" as south park would put it.
i just cannot leave well enough alone, haha

[hellazombies]

look good

slot-2's are always a crowd pleaser

[click]

how did you do the light up buttons and the switch, is there a tut? i found some for the slot-2 and triggers, but not for the other buttons.

im new to modding, sorry
