Re: How to LED mod the PSONE screen
Some things have been unclear with the LED mod.
If your LEDs are in series, you only need one resistor.
If they are in parallel, each of them needs their own resistor.
10ohms is too low, you should use around 33ohms.

Re: How to LED mod the PSONE screen
Sorry to post in such an old thread, but...
Is it better to wire them in parallel or series? Does it matter?

Re: How to LED mod the PSONE screen
I believe it has to be in parrallel because in series the voltages combine and you would need like 12v for 4. I think.
Banned indefinitely if you desperately need to contact me STOPPHONESPAMPLOX Please dont be a dick and call for something random like "HEY YURDRUE DOO U HAZ SPAM?"

Digikey part no. for a new LED I tried with the mod. The color's less blue, brighter, and the LEDs are $1.50 cheaper each than the one Ben recommends.
As always use a 33ohm resistor in series with each LED.
