Front LED's |

| Changing the LED's on the front of your case |
|
all you will need for this mod is: - 2 LED's - A soldering iron and solder* - Wire cutters* *may not be needed What to do Open up your case and remove your front panel if necessary. You should see 2 LED's, if they are just slotted into a holder, simply remove them and replace them with your blue/green/yellow/red (whatever you like) LED's However, if they are soldered onto a PCB (printed circuit board) you will need to de-solder them (apply heat from the soldering iron whilst pulling on the LED) and then solder the new ones in place (making sure you have them the right way round, the flat end of the "ledge" is negative, longer leg is positive... there will be no longer leg on the original because they are cut when they are soldered in place) All you need to do now is turn on your pc to see if they work, if they do, put your cover back on. If not, check that they are the right way and the legs are not touching. If they are touching, wrap some tape around one of the legs or just bend it away
