PSP LED Swap Help

[limitedEdition]

Hey guys, I just finished doing an LED swap for the power/charge lights on my psp but they look a little dim.

Is there any way to make them brighter without risking burning them out? I'm thinking of bridging the resistors. Any help or pictures would be great!

What kinda LEDs did you use for the swap.
I used 0603 and mine are just fine.

Yeah I used 0603's and pretty much followed Neubits LED swap tutorial word for word, I'll post pictures later but for now, any ideas?

I used the same LED's for the WIFI/memstick so could it be just a bad set of LED's? or could it be a connection? The power light is dim, that's the one where you have to solder an extra wire. Any ideas?

EDIT::
With the faceplate off, the power/charge leds are as bright as the wifi and memstick (which is what I want) it just gets a lot dimmer when I put my faceplate back on. It's the stock plate so I don't know what's wrong with it. My LED placement is the same as in the tutorial for this.
Sorry, I should have been more specific with my initial question.

Its probly not a bad connection but if its really not bright enough you c an bridge it

It will be REALLY bright after u do so i should take some kynar and touch the ends and make sure you can live with eh brightness lol

But if you bridge it it makes the LEDS life a lil shorter but it should be fine

Thanks for the feedback!

Shorter life as in... die in the next few months? Or is it negligible??

yea thats what i believe it is....

No leds last long time it souldnt be less of a life time then with out the resistor bridged
