    Led's in DVD drive?

    As part of fooling around with my DVd drive, I decided to put a couple of led's inside. Thing is though, I don't know exactly where to power the led's from. Is there a contact point on the circut board? I don't see where I get my power from.

    Darkness Inside

    Does anybody know what thickness of plexiglass would work the best for the dvd window? It has to be really small to go underneath the lid, and so what thoickness have people used? Also, the magnbetic disc holder (it looks like a circle that sits above the laser) is not "actualy" attached to the...

    Cathode= negative side, ok got it. As for your offer brionbastian I think i'd like you to make me a diagram. I don't knnow a whole lot about ewlectronics and so if you can hel pme out in any way, I'll gladly take it. Here is the link to the led's LS Diodes. I have also ordered some 220 ohm...

    Splicing into molex connector

    Allright, so it looks like i'll just try this out when my led's arrive.

    Darkness Inside

    Lol, sorry about that, it's my crappy MS paint skills. The ground connection on the molex is being spliced into and 2 wires are coming off from it. Then the ground wires are connected into each 2nd led's negative side (anode i believe?) Since there is 4 led's on each side, then the ground...

    Splicing into molex connector

    So heres the updated diagram. Hopefully this ones right this time. The ground wire goes to the (-) side of each second led, the 12v wire goes to each led's (+) end and 2 resisters are hooked up to the 12 V lead (2 for each side.) I'm crossing my fingers hoping this one woks the way it should.

    Splicing into molex connector

    Ok, thanks for clearing that up, but what is the ground after Led 2? I don't quite understand it. Also can I go like 12 V> Resister> Led 1> Led 2> Ground AND then repeat it like this: Resister> Led 1>LEd 2? I need to have the leds lined up so that there is 4 to each side evenly spaced, as they...

    I whiped up a quick visualization of what I have in mind for the wring. Hope this helps more than all my ranting. Thankx -Rob

    Splicing into molex connector

    Allright, so I know what I have to do know, but before I go ahead and order these leds I just wanna make sure someone confirms this information is correct. A 12 Volt power source @ 3.6 diode foward voltage with a 25 diode foward current @ 8 led's in total = 4 resisters @ 220 ohms or 1/4 watt...
