PS1 screen mod, Resistor placement?
Well got my screen taken apart and the LEDS all wired and in place. Im planing on putin the resistor in the plastic lining with the leds wiring but before i do this i remember reading that it gets VERY hot..so i put the 7volts i got to light it up and see if it werks, man that guy was smoking hot! i left it on for about 40sec and i couldnt touch the dam thing..there anyway to get it to not be so hot? im thinking id just have to put the reisitor outside the frame i dont want it to melt the plastic as it seems it would with the temp its reaching..

um I think he DID do the led mod... at least thats what he explained he was doing. Why else would he ask about the resistor he attached to the leds he put inside the casing of his PSOne screen?
