PSP Push-Activated Shoulder Button Lighting Mod
greg | October 30, 2006
Everett has emailed PSP hacks with a remarkable PSP mod; not even MacGyver could pull this off –
Sony decided to make the PSP shoulder buttons transparent, leaving modders an excellent opportunity to make the device look way cooler with lighting. Llamma has done a write up on adding lights to the buttons. I wanted a similar effect, but not for the lights to be on all the time—I wanted the buttons to light when they are pushed. This is how I did it.
Two random screenshots (click to enlarge):
Check out the mod in its entirety over at Everett’s website.

Cool mod!
wow, pretty cool. it would prob match my comp case. ^^
i was thinking of something similar but are the lights external?
Nice!
kick ass!
this thing is kick ass!……IDEA: maybe someone can make a way to change the power light to match the shoulder butoon lights…….just an idea…
THATS FREAKIN SWEET!
nice work Everett
Cool :)
Hey, hey, hey!
God damn man!!! That’s some sickass stuff you got man. and i give you respect for havin the balls to do that to your psp (cuz i would prolly mess mine up). If you would be able to post a detailed guide on how you did it, that would be great.

greg, please apologize for disgracing macgyver’s holy name by comparing him to some human. otherwise, cool mod
Wow dats cool I there someone I can pay to put the light on my PSP? all i can do is put movies that are still in the theaters into my PSP.I want a pro to put the LED lights on my I dont want to mess up my PSP.I got my PSP one day before the PSP came out.I know a few ppl that got it for me.
nice man
very nice men
that sweet but wouldnt it waste the battery quicker but its still a awesome idea
Na it wouldn’t waste the battery, why? because LEDs are being used! not some other source. You should know that already man.
i want lights
thats cool ^^
Nice:D
Good one man!
I would put these on my PSP too, but I am too afraid to open up my PSP
It would be cool if I could pay someone to do it for me. The only thing I’ve hacked by opening up are my Guitar Hero controller and a PSX controller to turn it into a metal DDR pad. And neither of those cost 250 bucks I’d be out if I messed up.
Nice but it will eat your batteries faster and also it’s not a good idea to open your PSP without reason - it’s hard to avoid dust on LCD.
Nice but ive seen this before…
Theres a tutorial on how to do this on llamma.com…
Heres the link:

you sad, sad , sad SAD CUNTS
