Re: My main question thread and project log (pn64)
Alright now I'm on to led modding my screen! Just wondering if these leds would do: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... Id=3060980" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Oh, and I already did the antiglare mod and it came out great.
....one more thing. I heard Ben found something that makes the picture look better like a resistor or something. Does anyone know anything like that?

Actually you need 3 mm white LEDs, those are 5 mm. Also, 7000 mCd is a little low, I'd go with around 12,000 at least, that's what I used and it looks good.
Rub the LED on some very fine sandpaper before you put it in to diffuse it, this will make the lighting more even.

Uhh...now I dont know what to believe
Re: My main question thread and project log (pn64)
You're going to have to communicate a little more before we can understand you. You don't know what to believe? About the LEDs? The ones in the link will work just fine.
