Have you looked at Acidmods yet?

They have youtube vids where they show all the coolest mods for PSP's. I
like the sound reactive mod for the psp. Awesome!

Sorry, I can't apparently add the friggin' URL. I haven't reached 15 posts yet.

Do you know how to solder?

If not then would you spend 50-70$ for some lights?

:P Acidmods is lame. Ive been there and nobody wants to help you out. Its more of a site for modders. Or people want to get ripped off for some modding that should be cheap.

Mind you, neons do need a pretty high voltage to function and quite a zap to start up, so this would take some real heavy modification on your handheld......

You'd better try one of those led-strips or something like that....

u can look it up in youtube.com ive seen ppl with neons there

[spleblem]

you don't use neons to mod the psp
that just stupid.
you use LED's and they are quite cheap.

neon on a psp? not gonna happen.

Electroluminescent wire, maybe. It has been done, but the driver takes up pretty much space and I'm sure the power draw is pretty high.

Sideglow fiberoptics are the way to go if you want something neon-like on a psp. I doubt they make drivers that work on such a small scale, but all you would need is to melt the end of the wire around a knife tip or something to make it concave, hook an led to the end and use some silver paint on the end to keep the light in the wire. It hasn't been tried, but it would likely work if you do it right.

Checking the psp threads, I could only find one that has gone unanswered (out of first 20 on each of the 4 boards), but that's just due to the fact that no one knows the answer. Acidmods encourages people to do mods by themselves. Some people are afraid to open their psp's and are willing to pay the money to get a quality job done by respected people who even give a 3 month warranty for their work. Also, if you want an LED mod, it doesn't cost that much. One person just did a sound led mod for $20 profit if I remember correctly which really isn't much at all....

yes but if its your first time soldering, its not advised to do it..

[AlanPowell528]

Its not my first time !

i still think lighting mods are more for props then for actual use. they kill the battery so imo are pointless. the one lighting mod i want, is one that lights up the bottom keys: Music, Start, Select, Home, Brightness.
they are nearly impossible to use at night... you basically just have to hope you hit the right one.

eat more carrots.

leds hardly take up any power.
i bet if you did the led trigger mod that you would not even notice a difference in power consumption.

[squee]

Yea, spleblem is right. Do you think the power or MS led takes up any real power from the battery? They really dont...

[xayofoolx]

They dont
