Stealth Drive LED Re-Route Guide

scapegoat · 04-June-03, 02:00 PM

"What we are trying to do today is to re-route the status LED of a dvd/cdrw drive to the outside of the case. If you stealth a drive, the status light is hidden behind the bay cover. Not useful if you want to see if data is being accessed or not."

I did this to my stealthed drives last year.
I've run into a dilema on my new burner though. It has 1 - 2 color led for activity, and my case has 2 leds installed for the previous burner reroute. Anyone know how to run 2 led's off the leads for a 2 color led?

That can be a problem you could just run like an extra led in the missing space.

I havent actually took the new burner apart, but I'm guessing a 2 color led just has 2 positive leads that share a ground maybe?
I plan to check with a tester when I make time to tear it down.
