Alternate voltage source for LED mod

[Basement_Modder]

In my QUAD 64, I used a fuse on the psone screen as a voltage source instead of the 7805. It provides a steady 2.96-2.98 volts, and, without resistors, can be connected to 4 3mm white LED's wired in parallel.

Just connect all the positive leads together and to the voltage point, then connect all the negative leads to GND. It's that easy. It took me 2 minuites to wire.

(it says "connect LEDs to left side of this fuse" if you can't read it.)

I tested this with 3 different brand/ brightness LEDs and they all performed well.

Happy modding!

(yes, Kyo, you can put it on your site if you want.)

I like. Now it like a dollar cheaper to LED mod!

as gratitude, I give you this resistor!
is there a significant change in brightness?

Not really, but it's still really bright.

Does that mean it's a bit darker compared to using resistors? Like, do you think it affects the screen at all?

EDIT: I meant does it affect the picture. Not enough caffeine in my system today.

Are you sure this is not interfering with anything? This seems like a bad idea
