Success Story
I modded my DC with a blue 5v (Or was it 3.3v?) LED. It looks <i>awesome</i>. I could send you pics, if you want. The LED cost me about $5 at Radioshack... I actually had to look around for it.
Be careful when you're soldering the thing, or you'll get screwed like the guy above me. That happened to me, but I found a relatively easy fix. The tracing (little wire right on the PCB) going to one of the leads of the LED is on the far end of the DC. If you need a pic of that, I'd be happy to post it for you, too. >= ) Not a problem.
If anyone has any problems or questions, IM or E-Mail me at cchamber37@aol.com or IM me at ErzsebetBath0ry or MidnightObsidian. I'm on the former more than the latter. It's a really, really easy operation, but it's also very easy to screw it up. >= ) I'll do my best to help, either way.
