How would I do this mod?
« on: February 05, 2009, 12:22:30 PM »

How would I do this mod, It has a speaker 2 white leds and 2 blue leds in the ring of light, and 2 white and 2 blue leds on the corners of the umd door and 2 uv leds on the R and L triggers. All leds on the umd door will be sound reactive. And I was going to buy 5mm leds at radio shack and the speaker online at mouser which fits perfectly for umd ring of light.

okay first you need a custom jewel ring thing. You can get these at

shatteredmods.com

Then you'll need to buy smaller leds (5mm leds won't fit, you're recommended to use 0603 smd leds) You can get those here:

phenoptix.co.uk
(Yes they're UK based, but they have very good products, and cheap shipping.

Then I suppose you'll need to drill small holes to let the light shine through the holes. Then route all your wires and stuff, and connect them up to a sound amp/direct connect and you're good to go :)

No, justin...you dont need a jewel,
you can Use a regular ring
and depending on what country you live in I recomend for US
www.mouser.com
and for UK
www.phenoptix.co.uk

as for the speaker
I reccomend buying one of those singing birthday/holiday cards, they have a really good speaker and they only cost about $5
EDIT: also if you want you can cut the lid to a pringles container and replace the ring

Treemty, how would you have light shining through if you don't have a jewel of some sort? Just have it shine through the speaker..?

1. leds (phenoptix.co.uk)
2. speaker (singing birthday cards or mouser.com)
3. something to cut the door (like a dremel, hole saw, drill press, etc.)
4. Something to drill the triggers (like a drill XD)
5. 30 AWG Kynar Wire (Radioshack or phenoptix.co.uk or mouser.com)
6. Maybe a ring of light jewel, maybe not. It depends on what you want. (shatteredmods.com)
7. Of course, basic soldering equipment (soldering iron, solder, desoldering braid, flux, etc.)

While ordering LEDs from mouser, I recommend ordering this speaker as well. http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuNFJjvCI6tQh8mjnT0e2E1Hf0EyM8a18I%3d. I recently ordered some and they are some of the best speakers I ever used in a PSP and they only cost $1.45.

Those are quite small though, aren't they? At 1.57 in, when the actual circle part on the UMD door is like, 2+ in?
