Changing the LED color

2002-06-03 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Still probably not too expensive, Radio Shack (Tandy) has a lot of LED's 
in their catalog for pretty cheap.  I swapped out the LEDs in my car radio 
to match the interior lights after I made them all red, it was easy if 
you've got a soldier sucker.  Are the soldiered LED's colored red though, 
or do they rely on the lenses mounted to the case to provide the light? 
That'll be the real question as to how easy this is to do.  If they're 
just white LED's, it'll be dead simple to put some blue colored film or 
custom plexiglass plugs in there to make them all blue, probably just as 
easy to do with the buttons too.

I've got a P2500 Rom that should be here today or tomorrow, so I'll poke 
around a bit as long as I'm in there installing that Rom.  Damn, there 
goes my warrenty!  Fun stuff!

(the knobs just pull right off from the board right?  Nothing tricky about 
removing them?)



The LED's in the machine actually look like little resistors soldered to 
the board.
