You want a date with her? I can arrange it.

[culpthug]

wut is the part number and size of the L.E.D.'s u use???

[JoMamma]

LED's dont come in various sizes for keypads fyi. the actual board does, but thats obvious, the LED's remain the same size.

[chenyichung]

JoMamma,
well, i've actually used 3 different sized surface mount LEDs. 0603 is the smallest, it's what i use on the sanyo's. The next size up is the 0805, i use ta use these on the old nokia keypads. And the largest size i've ever used was 1206, and i used those on old nokia non-colored LCD displays. So there are different size LEDs, from my hands on experience.

culpthug,
i use 0603 LEDs. I can sell you LEDs if you want, pm me.

Just exactly how small are the soldering points and how many of them are there? Would they be pretty hard to get to with an exceptionally small soldering tip? Do you need tweezers or something? I think it might be fun and rewarding to solder up your own leds. :)

Dam, your avatar is scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

[chryslerfan]

Yi Chen - Do you only do Sprint phones?

[chenyichung]

KennyD,

the soldering pads on the PCB are about 1mm x 1mm. There are two pads per LED, pos. and neg. The LEDs aren't much bigger than the pads, maybe 2mm x 3mm. you need the smallest tipped soldering iron from radio shack, and very still hands.

chryslerfan,

i can do any phone, as long as i can get the phone open, soldering is all the same. I can pretty much do any nokia, as they are the easiest to open, i can do all sanyos, would like to do samsungs, but no one will let their samsung be a test, i just gotta figure out how ta open it up, after that, gimme 30 min. and you'll have some hot ***** LEDs on your keypad :)

How about this, do you think you could throw some tri colors up in herer?? :D

[Marlon_JB2]

Oh wow... does it still work?

[Pavilion1]

Hell yea!!!! And its 30 times better than Sprints current offering. A no-bit 1" rectangular LED display, super long battery life(20mins), nice retro, scratchy analog sound and last but not least: The looks you get from carrying around such a Blingy item! The only thing needed would be some new, colorful LED's! :hee:

[embaum]

how can I get colored LCDs for my 8200? where can I go to get them?

I would LOVE pink, but orange or green would be cool too!

[chenyichung]

embaum,

did you mean you wanted color LEDs? cause' the LCD you can't change. You can change the color of your keypad. If so, i can help you out, just send me a pm.

You live near NJ? You should walk into Deval's store, demand to see him, and ask to activate that giganto-antique! :)

what size led's does a PM-8200 use?

how much do you charge to change the lights?

[Binary]

where can i buy LEDs for my pm-8200? and what size i guess would i need?

[chenyichung]

not really sure where you can buy LEDs now, the person i use to buy the LEDs from ins't in the business anymore. i think you can buy'm on eBay. Give that a try. Or just search for size 0603 LEDs on yahoo or google.

[strife1]

Are there any "boring ol' blue" LEDs? lol

[ejrod]

Yi Chen I'm looking to put white LEDs in my 5500, how do I go about getting in contact with you? ej_rod_2203@yahoo.com

[GhostWolf]

yea,

i must say the first picture is pretty nice, anyone want purple LEDs?
i've got plenty of purple, white, and red LEDs.

-Yi Chen

This looks perfect for my silver 8200, how much would you charge me and what would be the turnaround time?

[GeoGoGo]

I would be interested in having the white LED's installed in my RL7300 if possible. I would like to get a price and estimate of turn around time also. You can contact me at GeoGoGo@AOL.com
Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,

George D.

[no_perfect_star]

Hey does anyone know where I could get this done to my phone around Philly? Are there stores that do this?

[Deval]

probably, but keep in mind thats the best way to void your warranty

[blinkofaneye]

HOW MUCH FOR THE LEDS?

[chenyichung]

blinkofaneye,

you just want to buy the LEDs, or you want the conversion?

-Yi Chen

[roxybabe685]

I was wondering if i could get purple LEDs for my blue 8200...how much does it cost??

[chenyichung]

$45, that includes the LEDs, the conversion service, and USPS express shipping back to you. turn around time is 3 days, but you have to ship it to me using USPS express next day air.

Yi Chen, I sure hope you did not do any work for this guy. He has ripped off one of our Members & I would hate to see you get burned.

[chenyichung]

yea, i sent him an e-mail, but he never replyed, hope you get everything resolved. Either way, if he were to have sent me "his" phone, i'd contact the rightful owner and send it back to him or her, with an LED conversion done of course :)

-Yi Chen

[Mantichora]

That's what I like to hear. You are a credit to SU, thanks for being a member.

[remydagreat]

[CaSpEr666]

How and where do you get those leds? I want a blue one for my phone

[bharv]
