nice pix-did u just take it apart to check out the insides or did you mod it out?
Hey, cool Pics.
As I see you opened it, I thought I might just ask a question. I recently bought one of those things, but I am unhappy with the color of the LEDs. How much time do you thinkt would it take to replace them (the orange an green ones)? Can you just pull ‘ em out and put new ones in or will it be a tricky job with the soldering-iron to get them out and in?
Cheers, Philipp. PS: Keep up the cool site.
The led’s are all surface mount and there is a bunch of them. Changing them out is a big task, but one that can be done. Best to brush up on your surface mounting skills.
Hey, thanks for the info…
Hmm… I guess I’ll have to think over if I really wanna do that ;D
I always thought surface mounting was a cool technology, but now I disagree.. =)
