Also two modern LEDs take about the same current as an old one (pretty sure)]]>https://chipmusic.org/12ianma2012-05-28T13:37:48Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/109264/#p109264<![CDATA[Re: About switiching the Power LED]]>Thanks Guys. After the picture of 12ianma and googling the word "led diagram" i got it But another question about LEDs. I have to open the Boy again to replace a lose contact and have one white LED left. I would like to add it to the case, but which Power Source can be used for additional LEDs?]]>https://chipmusic.org/9-Heart2012-05-28T12:19:07Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/109262/#p109262<![CDATA[Re: About switiching the Power LED]]>What I do is look at the led closely at the two points inside the glass one will look like a little triangle flag just take note of which side that is and put the replacement in the same way. Also I change the led in all my gameboys with green or amber and sometimes purple and I've never had to change the diode ever or resister. I believe it can stand any led. I haven't tried a black light yet but I'm betting it'll work fine also. But yea easy to do just slap the bitch in there an you're done. I would suggest though to use a desolderer to pull the solder off the points cleanly. Its kind of a bitch to heat the solder up on the points back and forth. You can burn the board and if you're not careful when you pull led out a piece of the board may come with it and then you'll be screwed.]]>https://chipmusic.org/Vex2012-05-27T18:34:40Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/109167/#p109167<![CDATA[Re: About switiching the Power LED]]>I have been told the zenith diode (not resistor) will not allow it to burn out any led. so you don't need to add any resistance even for SMT LEDs]]>https://chipmusic.org/12ianma2012-05-27T18:17:44Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/109164/#p109164<![CDATA[Re: About switiching the Power LED]]>Anode is the top. The resistor to replace, if necessary, is at the top left of the board (1k ohm).]]>https://chipmusic.org/Apeshit2012-05-27T18:06:56Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/109162/#p109162<![CDATA[Re: About switiching the Power LED]]>I saw that, but didn't get the meaning of it.]]>https://chipmusic.org/9-Heart2012-05-27T18:02:07Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/109161/#p109161<![CDATA[Re: About switiching the Power LED]]>the diagram is right next to the led. like on the board on both sides.

sorry for my dumb Question, but where do i solder the Anode (+) from the LED? Which is it, the top or the bottom hole?
