just some simple laptop mod.
« on: November 13, 2011, 12:10:47 PM »
But i like it.
cut out a paw on the back of the lid and threw a rewired DSL backlight behind it.
ran those wires to the speakers int he base and viola!
after a (poorly done) coat of paint i have a sound reactive paw print on the back of my laptop, cant say ive seen it done before so here it is :D
i started to change out the indicator leds so theres a rainbow but i dont have any more 0603s.

I want to add more to it but this is what ive got for now.

Dude.

That's sick as (insert swear word here.)

That's like the perfect touch... The placement is perfect too.  Upload a video soon.

Seriously that looks clean on that laptop.  I was expecting something ugly when I was reading this... But it actually looks quite nice. I'm impressed! Nice backlight method too.

smaller broken laptops (11-13inch) would provide a good source of large black lights

You could probably talk your way into getting one for free, they are so common and have little purpose or value
