led replacement
« on: December 09, 2010, 07:21:22 pm »
ok guys, u know how there is the "ring" around the power button on the xobx 360? (as you knw i'm already modding my 360) and i wanted to replace the stock green lights with red lights, but idk how :( i would potentially like to stay away from soldering if possible, idk if that is a reality though. if anyone has ever done this before, or would like to leave me some tips, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks:)

Well, if it's anything similar to the controller, you will have to solder. How big are the LEDs? Cause the ones on the controller are like bread crumb size... Seriously... I tried doing it and effed the entire contoller...

Seeing as I fail at circuit work... it might not be. But soldering that tiny, small ass LED is a huge pain without messing something up nearby.....

I do agree though, if you truly mod your Xbox, the lights must change, it's a necessity.  :P

As the system starts to heat up it might melt the glue. Or are you talking about the controllers now?
