Wow, the PSOne LED mod SUCKS.

I'm not sure how many mcd my LEDs output, but they were rated at 3.6v@100ma, so they'd definitely be much brighter than your 20ma ones, segasonicfan

....how many ma do your leds consume, gannon? I think I used the ultrabright ones, too

well... I can't check right now, but I'll get right on it when I get home.... if I remember... which I probably won't..

ah....oh well

HI
I don't have this problem cause I got a sharp LQ6AN101 wich has a backlight but I saw somewhere ben's new lightmod by bypassing a fuse ore something on the back perhaps search for this

we've already addressed that in this post...the short out fuse mod only works to raise the brightness on composite input, not RGB. It also destroys the contrast. I'll try the mod with 3 or 4 5000 mcd LEDs and see the results =)

To make the lighting more even, I believe you can sand off a bit of the LED cover, and that helps distribute the light better. If that doesn't work, you can place a small lens over the LED to spread the light.

more leds?

in bens book it says that you can bypass something on the board to make the mod brighter. i think you bypass CV23

He's said twice that bypassing that only works for composite. He's using RGB.

does anone actually know what that is and why it makes the screen brighter?

I believe it is there to help the contrast on the composite line, but lowers the voltage at the same time, therefore the picture gets darker.

A thin sheet of plexi glass and a mirror under the lcd glass should really help with dissipating the light. Here's a picture...

But with all that stuff under the lcd it will probably crack!

You used a yellow LED?

This picture was actually for my ti-84 plus, I thought it looked cool.
Use white LEDs for a PSOne, though, no doubt!

Try running the Red Green and Blue lines through 200uF capacitors. IIRC, that should boost the brightness.
