Hi, I've recently purchased a Torx T8 security screwdriver to fix my A button on my controller. I've managed to do that all well and good but now I've got the equipment I thought I might as well give modding my controller a go. I'd like to start off simple - just changing the LEDs in the ring of light around the guide button. Can anyone tell me what type of LEDs to buy and if possible where from (I'm UK) - sorry this violates the no advertising thing for this section.
Also just wondering the best way to get started with this, is it just a case melting the solder around the 4 LEDs to get them free then replacing them with the new ones? And what would be the best way to see if I've got the LED in the right way or to check if they're working fine? Would soldering whilst the power is on be safe? I have a few more questions but just any general advice on doing this would be greatly appreciated.
