I know your prob sick of seeing these, but I document every mod I do, so here it is. I replaced the orange led to a blue one.

Didn't you replace the resistor too? It is now probably running at only 6mA. Replace it with a 100ohm one and you'll see the real brightness of your new LED

(~18mA)

- just a hint

I'm not sure if I really want it running brighter. It already seems bright enough. But if you point me in the direction to figure out how to replace the resistor, i will try it. I am new to the "case modding" scene.

Replacing the resistor is even easier as replacing the LED since you don't have to mind the polarity nor it has to fit perfectly as the LED needs to.

Just get yourself a 100ohm 0,25 watt resistor and use it to replace the original one that is located next to the LED.

What if I want to put more than 1 LED? What should I know? What should I buy? I m a newbie and all I have for now is Nexxtech 30/35W soldering iron.
