an LED mod on my PS2, next to the ir reciever. here are the instructions: BEFORE YOU FOLLOW THIS YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOU OR YOUR EQUIPMENT BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. what you need: thin wire (use kynar wire if possible or strip the cable from a parallel port/lpt port cable: has plenty wire in there :P) solder soldering iron resistor(s) LED(s) wire stripper hot glue gun hot glue stick(s) heatshrink/wrapshrink tubing or insulation tape PS2 philips screwdriver flat screwdriver before you start, please note that the LED will stay on CONTINUOUSLY when the power is plugged in. the PS2 may be off, but the LED will still be on with the power plugged in. you can add a switch if you like but i haven't added one. 1. open the ps2 up with the philips screwdriver and locate the power input on the back. the yellow input: inner pic = positive, outer = negative 2. use any LED upto 8.5v rated, but if you use an LED rated at less than 8.5v you will need a resistor. use this link to work it out: ledcalc.com most LED's are between 1.5v and 3.6v. i used a 3.6v LED with a 100ohm resistor. works nicely. 3. cut a length of wire enough to be wired around and about the heatsink in the ps2, and reach wherever you want the LED to go. solder them both onto the correct polarities (negative and positive) on the LED. 4. place the LED where you want it, (in my case, just under the motherboard behind the grille), and use some hot glue if possible to hold it ...
