Wow Justin really mixed you up lol nope what you do is brige the to pins that are together on the wifi and use the one that is alone to use it as the ground and the use the mobo's + and your leds should work 100% dont forget a resistance or it will burn your leds if there not blue

try droping it again
my retared friend fixed by droping it

And to work out the resistance needed use this simple fomula:

Resistance = (Supply voltage - Led forward voltage)
                  -------------------------------------
                                  LED Current

Ok now i know how to put leds in my psp but i want to be sure about the technic i will use!
First of all i will solder the led (to the wire) and then  solder the possitive wire of the led with an ohm rezistor (i suppose i need 12ohm rezistor because i want to put 6 red leds about 240-300mcd).
Then i will solder the possitive wire with the +5volt of my mobo!
After all that i take the neggative wire and solder it with the pin of wifi - that is alone!i will also bridge the two
pins that are together like the Greek Ω omega letter and i'm done!
This is the diagram i made yesterday sorry but i haven't free time so i made it with windows drawing!
Also i realize that i have drawn it upside down so yeah ;) i know.....

Please correct me if i'm wrong i need help please!!
