LED lighted PSP mod

Llama LED lighted PSP mod

Llamma has finished his LED mod for the PSP. The mod consists of placing LEDs in each trigger button and the center of the D-pad and face buttons. The LED’s are powered by the PSP’s battery and they turn off automagically when your PSP is running low on juice. This is definitely the most impressive hardware mod I’ve seen for the PSP. However, you’ll need some decent soldering skills as you’ll need to solder wires onto the circuit board of the PSP to power the LEDs.

Tools

  • 000 Phillips Screw Driver
  • Low wattage (15-20) Quality Solder Iron or variable temperature Solder Station
  • X-Acto or other blade for stripping/scratching off the insulation on the wire
  • Small Tweezers
  • 5/64 Drill bit and drill

Supplies

  • 30AWG Magnet Wire (enamel coated) (NOT 30AWG Kynar)
  • 0603 SMD LED’s
  • 10 Ohm Resistor for 4 blue

    I like the clear faceplate!!! Except I wouldn’t have those LED’s.. I find the green one on the left and right enough eye strain as it is in low-light areas.
