i changed the smd 0603 leds under the home, back and menu buttons. (soldering looks more messy in my picture).

very easy to do if you have had experience with 0603 components. :) what do you guys think.

If we're making the world smaller, I'm from Cowes. Keeping on topic, yeah very cool mod. Question is, how to make them flash when there's email or a message waiting?

Looks nice! How do you figure out the polarity on surface mounted leds?

The plan was to check using the led I took off(they have a tiny arrow on the bottom.) But also the board is marked under the led with a bracket to show the negative. So just solder the led with the arrow aiming towards that

I don't have a streak... yet... but this mod is sweet. So much better then seeing white all the time... makes me wonder if there is a way I can do similar on my hero.

Thanks for the info on polarity arrows for SMDs as well. Thats once less thing to google now!

I thought different led's drew different amps thus requiring you to also swap out the resistors.
