Network LED Tutorial (Quick and Easy)

Want to know when there's network activity or just want to add more LED's to your Xbox? Here's how!

WARNING! I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR XBOX, YOURSELF, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

(On that note, let me point out that this is one of the easiest mods to do. If you know how to solder, chances are, you won't have any troubles at all.)

Time required, 5-10 min.

Tools required:

1-LED of your choice

1-100 ohm resistor

Wire-Enough to place where wanted

Soldering Iron, solder, etc.

And now, how to do it!

1: Solder the resistor to the positive leg of the LED.

2: Solder wire to the resistor. This wire will then be soldered any RED wire inside. A common one is the wire going to the HDD.

3: Now, solder a wire to the ground of the LED; this will go to the ground of the network activity LED on the network jack.

*Note: Make sure you use shrink-tube or tape to secure your connections

4: Locate the network plug. Now, if you see the bare leads going to the amber-yellowish LED, solder directly to the lead farthest towards the left. If not, you must solder to the pin connected to the motherboard, looking directly under the plug you’ll see this. Solder to the pin circled in red.

5: Place the LED wherever you wish. Usually, someone drills a hole, fills it with hot glue, and places the LED behind it

Tada! You're done!

Note: Your LED may glow dimly when there's no activity, this is normal.
