is there anywhere that shows the analog stick thing that is what i need most and thank you for that i guess i need to brush up on my skills?!?!?!?!?!

[kloan]

haven't seen that before... but once you're in there and you've got it all apart, i'm sure you'll be able to figure something out. that is, if you're comfortable with hacking up your psp to begin with....

ya im probably gunna get a bricked one or something and test all my stuff out on it

[kloan]

huh, not a bad idea... practice on the dead one first... smd's are a bitch to solder.. i really need to get myself one of those desk mounted magnifying glass thingies with the built in light.... up til now i've done all my soldering with just my plain ol eyesight.. it's getting too difficult with these tiny pieces...

If you have no experience whatsoever solding, I would suggest you to "stay away" from modding leds on your psp.

I myself would love to have these features, I dont care about battery life, leds wont suck a lot of it.

But good luck man! if you know how to, go ahead and if you know someone that really knows HOW to do this stuff, ask him/her.

you cant put leds for the analog stick. where the hell would the light come out??? think man think... and just be carefule when your soldering you dont want to **** up your motherboard. i recommend you sending it to a professional if you dont know what your doing. thats why im having my dad do mine (im gettting the l+r buttons done) cause hes an electrical engineer and he has the tools. but unless you have some one like that i dont recommend you doing it by yourself.

if he has a clear faceplate mod the light will show for sure or even the clear button and button pad set. my faceplate came with clear buttons an stick and the pads that sit under the face plate and its all clear led's will shine perfectly.
post some pic's when your done im a soldering wiz as i spent three years at shumaker inc. building battery chargers in the elect soldering dept not as small but same concept practice makes perfect.

how the hell can you brick your psp soldering it? brick is a term for rendering a piece or hardware useless because of an error in the SOFTWARE.

ya i aint that stupid, i am getting a faceplate from decalgirl and it has a clear analog stick thing, and i have been soldering for a while so i am not really worried, i have all the right tools and the know how to do the soldering.

thats one im gonna have to try. i have the lighted L/R buttons and the hardest thing for me was the dang led's, i went through a few cuz i kept breakin em BTW too dumb, cool avatar i tattooed that exact pic on my brothers back about a year ago

[dylan6879]

well for the analog i assume u mean the nub is clear but still the led would be hard u might be able to drill a whole through it put the lil led at the top of the hole and run the wire through it but it might limit the mobility of ur analog stick unless u can find the analog stick as in the whole piece clear not just the nub cause i ordered off decal girl to but they only send u a nub and then put it underneath it but if u find a way pls share as i may want to do this someday

a lil exp made in paint quickly

[The_Mechanix]
