Wiimote leds?

[tye_debbie]

Just wondering, 1.are the lights in the wii remote leds and 2. Is it possible to change them? If so how would i go about doing so?

1) Yes
2) Yes. Well, actually, I don't know. If you want to try, however, then what you'll need is a tri-wing screwdriver, a soldering iron, some new LEDs, some resistors (relating to the new voltage of the new LEDs), and I think perhaps a solder-sucker thing to suck up the old solder to remove the old LEDs.

right, thank you.

If you are thinking about changing the LEDs, you need to find out how many volts the current ones are, how many volts the new ones are, and find a resistor to compensate.

Nothing wrong with being an emo

also, while im thinking of it, would anyone be able to help me and find out how many volts the current leds in the remote are, as i have no idea how to find out

 

[ToadIsDoingMagicMushrooms]

most leds are 1.5 volts

 

[tye_debbie]

most leds are 1.5 volts

Why do i get the feeling im being lied to? Possibly because i have a AA batery next to me saying it has 1.5v!

Correct me if im wrong

you could simply put a sheet of plastic over the old square bit, so that it changes the color. quite simple

If you don't know your way around a volt meter or how to solder surface mount electrical components, then you're getting in over your head.

ahh well .. emo or not..

u can figure ur leds out..
