Very nice. Please write up some instructions! :D

Holy MOTHER****ING ****!

OMG OMG OMG OMG! That is SO COOL!!

You HAVE to post pics! PLEASE! And the exact type of LED's you used, how you soldered them, INFO!

How did you access the front panel? Do I have to disassemble?

I'm gonna do the green/red phone buttons and a blue ring!

I bet thats pretty trippy at 6am on a saturday morning when someone calls you when your hung over!

Very nice mod though. Some strobes would be amazing! lol

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds
 

Thanks everyone. I can't really show you how to do it. I can tell you what you need.

Soldering iron 15-20 Watt with fine tip
Solder
0603 size SMT L.E.D
And Skills

I don't recommend anyone to do this unless you have done this before or have done other really small soldering. It is extremely easy to break the contact on the board and never get it back.

Heres the board with the orignal l.e.ds on it. I dont have a pic with the new , but it looks the same pretty much.

Yeah, how about I send you my Diamond and you do it for me? :D

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds
 

nice mod...but...you're just making lots of us jealous....

I can see people cursing themselves trying to do this and f-ing up their TPs...:evil4:

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds
 

Hehe, yeah, I actually have experience building boards for microprocessor applications and robot building and would not try this on my phone. I'm just not there yet where I can go crazy on such an expensive piece of equipment.

Looks nice though, good job.

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds
 

Ok, I know how to solder, but how did you manage THAT? What type of solder did you use? Or did you just use the same solder that was already on the board? and how much space is between the contacts for each LED?

Plus, are their any warranty stickers that need to be broken?

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds
 

wow thats nice. i like it

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds
 

LOL I was sort of wondering that too. Politeness won out. :)

A soldering iron with a small tip, and more than "Skills", I'd say...I think m4d sk1llz is more like it (and at my age, getting me to write something like that means a lot).

I think you should bring it to a Sprint store and complain that your LEDs have started acting funny and see what happens. :)
