Finally, we got a diode with flat surface, but the surface was mat. To tell the truth, I simply rubbed it with my jeans for some minutes and it became glossy, but not transparent. It turned out that its transparency was not necessary, effect was the same.
Now, insert the light diode and test it when in use; then unsolder it obeying polarity and through correct resistor.
Test the modded device when in use. Apply voltage from power box.
If the light diode shines and everything suits you, you can solder it to the card. As a variant, you can use a backlight of another collar.
This is how the modded slot of RG-45 Internet connector looks like. The filed head of light diode is clearly seen in the photo. Don’t forget to fix the diode with a drop of glue and wipe clean the rest of the flux.
That’s all. The modding is finished. Put the slot into the cabinet, test the functioning and enjoy the modded device :)
The last pictures demonstrate the results… To tell the truth, it produces a stunning effect in the dark…
And one more thing… I have different variants of the connector backlights. You may feel free to ask me questions if you are interested. I’ll do my best to answer the questions and help you.
I warn everyone who is going to replicate the modding… We are not responsible for damage of your cards, other equipment and warranty loss. You are the only responsible person for replication of this modding. This warning doesn’t mean that you’ll necessarily spoil the device. If you follow my advices the device will function like clock-work.
Sincerely yours, Hacker.
Wish you a good modding, SilentMods.com
