Lan link LED on original xbox
Do you wish to have a front side lan LED ?
You will need the following parts:
1. a led (Radio Shack part #276-068) is the one I used
2. 220 Ohm Resistor (Radio Shack Part #271-1111)
3. a soldering iron with some solder
4. enough wire to get from the point a to b depends where light is going to be placed
5. a drill
6. optionally you may want to have some flux to make the solder stick better
First off disassemble your Xbox and remove the motherboard and flip it to the backside
here you will solder one wire to the point shown
next drill a hole where you want the light. Insert your light and tighten it down. Now connect the wire
that you just soldered to the motherboard to the smaller leg on the led which is known as the cathode.
for the 5 volts power I just connected the other leg to 220ohm resister and the resister to the red wire
going to the Xbox hd or if you want to keep the wires under the hd you could connect it to one of the 4 red wires
going to the usb ports.
