Push Activated LED Button Mod
greg | April 30, 2007
Hells yeah! Chalk up another first-class PSP mod for the crew that does it best, Acidmods!
Elite modder JR has successfully modded this particular PSP to illuminate a LED when buttons are pressed — those buttons being: triangle, square, circle, or cross. Surprisingly, this mod isn’t overly difficult to accomplish; planned is a tutorial illustrating the installation procedure. We’ll let ya know when that’s available. Till then, watch the video which demonstrates the mod in action.
There is one current issue to be addressed concerning MCD colour ratings, outlined in this quote:
We ran into a small issue after we glued them in, involving different MCD ratings of the different colors. Rather than tear things apart we will just issue this warning to people wanting to do this mod if you use different colors that are rated differently some may stay on dimly then light up when pressed. We will correct this problem in the future videos and list the proper values to use in the tutorial when it’s completed.

Soundz cool, but lookz like alotta work
I still prefer the sound activated ones. But this is pretty cool too.
Nice , but one question didn’t see the led screen in place how tight of a fit is it and does it affect the buttons function ?
He didn’t put the LCD in place because this was originaly only a POC video but I told hime to release it. We will make other videos showcasing this mod later.. as far as fit is concerend there is plenty of room but closing it is a pain because the faceplate becomes tethered to the power board. Due to the fact that the led’s are glued into the buttons…
The LEDs would look nicer if the buttons were in their respective shapes (instead of being circles, they would be a square, triangle, cross and a circle.)
yeah ur right
Easier said than done man, In order to do that, you have to cut out the shapes on the button from the inside. Leds are standard circles, or with the PSP led ones, small squares. Just know that there isn’t much room at all behind the push buttons. If the square, tri, cros, circle leds are possible, its gonna be an ass to fabricate them (at least) im thinking more like putting the buttons through laser etching with a magnified view and carefully going at it, whether by hand or machine. Or the faceplate companies come up with colored buttons, but the shapes are clear for the LEDs to shine through.
This isn’t too difficult, but as cyberpyrot said, the main problem is the faceplate becoming tethered to the powerboard, the fit isn’t bad, there’s definitely enough room for it, I just didn’t feel like putting it back in when I made the video.
Good luck making those shaped buttons Karl, let me know how it comes along… lol…
zobb@oxxibarra.com……zip…zick….zilch….nah!!! very pretty but very difficult hihi “)
This is a very cool mod!!!
looks like a lot of work
VERY cool mod tho!
ANYONE up for a game of Simon….. lol
haha that would be an amazing thing to see…
this looks pretty cool just like the other mods but i couldnt do this on my own i think!!! I wish i could! Or is it that simple?
If you can do a trigger mod, then you can do this mod, it’s just more frustrating once you start trying to put the PSP back together…
yea, i will leave that to the people who hav 2 or 3 psps!! lol
whack…this website is psp-hacks not fucken psp-mods…useless shit only gets annoying after a day or two.
You have the intelligence of a moose.
You are just a waste of sperm, you were never meant to be born.
sweet. thats looks cool. im not gonna try it though :D
wow nice job if u start to sell these i will deff. buy one
OMG, that is cool song! does anybody knows what is this???
Rage Against The Machine - Bulls On Parade
I believe is the song. Interesting mod.
RATM! ROCK ON!
WHY? Why do i need this? Seems gay
Some people feel like they need something like this to have a custom PSP. Some people want to stick out in the crowd of black, smudged, scratched PSP’s out there. Let them do what the fuck they want and you keep your mouth shut.
and some of us just get bored on the weekends and want a reason to break out the soldering iron… the PSP that this was done on is a test unit, I use it for R&D and testing… it mostly just sits in a drawer, or on my desk, in pieces…
