But is that the resistor to replace? I'm having trouble following the traces but it looks like that R1 is for the LED.

My point is, you can always make a LED less bright by putting in a bigger resistor value. I just grabbed a value out of my ass. Experiment and find a value that works well for your LED. 10k is probably too big for the purpose.

Are you replacing R1 (1k) near the top edge of the board above the LED? I put some water clears in and they are blinding.

Doubt it, I got this led for 15 cents.

So that is what a Diffused one looks like right?

There's such thing as low brightness white LEDs...

Maybe with a super bright LED. The stock LED is clear.

Diffused is pretty typical for power indicator applications.

This is worth taking a look through: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=di … p;_sacat=0

I'm changing the power LED that is next to the screen in my GBC to white.

For white, which will look nicer once installed inside the gameboy, Diffused or Water Clear?
