XBOX BLUE LED MOD + HDD & LAN ACTIVITY LIGHTS

Posted on 12. Feb, 2011 by admin in Xbox Mods


This was a very time consuming project for me, but it was simple, n simple to do. Anyone who remembers basic highschool electrics can do this. Just remember LEDs DON’T LIKE HIGH VOLTAGES, 3V TOPS!! Always use resistors for the LEDs, and try to avoid grouping them together or connecting multiple LEDs to the same resistor. Any questions about doing anything like this message me, I know alot about electronics. PS. PLEASE EXCUSE THE CRAPPY CAMERA WORK!

    As for the controller ports, I was one of the first to do that mod. I resolute to use 10mm LEDs rather than the standard 5mm. All I did was drill a nice fit hole over each port, then glue in some 10mm LEDs!

    Hi, No I did not buy the eject button light blue. I took it apart and swapped out the green/red 3mm Tri-color LEDs for some blue/red ones. You can find persons on ebay.

    If you just want the blue, without having a “warning” flash, such as the orriginal (red), then just go for some blue 3mm LEDs. They will not reqire any resistors; as the motherboard allready has them.

    I beleive you can still buy the ancient XBOX eject light kits off ebay. But it would be cheeper to mod it yourself.

    Learn & get excellent at soldering. No software needed. The LEDs are connected to outputs already inside the XBOX. The very same can be done with PCs. You just need to know where on the motherboard to connect the cables. Be sure not to overload the outputs; use relays or transistor circuits to switch higher powered components.

    It’s just simple electronics. you can use neons or LEDs, but remember you will have a limited amount of power to work with. Except you use external power equipment.

    There is already an LED for the LAN activity on the back of the console. All you have to do is solder the cathode side of the LED to the pin on the motherboard. Then connect the anode through a 100 OHM resistor to the 5V line on the HDD power cable.

    The LED will blink rapidly when connected & playing on XBOX LIVE.

    The HDD activity is exactly the same mode, by soldering the cathode side to a pin on the motherboard, or connecting it to a pin on the HDD IDE cable.
