Wiring LEDs to my PS2 PCB board?
« on: March 21, 2004, 11:17:36 am »
Hey guys, I have some translucent buttons for a dual panel I am building and I wanted it to have like an LED per button. I know that some might say just put a florecent light but I can't because the control panel is removable so I kinda wanted to power it up from the PCB. Now I know that you all know that every PS2 PCB has a 5v+ current running from it. I was wondering if that would be enough to run about 9 LEDs? Please reply. Thanx.

-See Ya!!!

I'm certainly no expert on this (just barely getting the hang of it myself), but my understanding is that no, it work work.  See RandyT's response here when I asked a very similar question a year ago.  :)

Well, you should always use caution, when it comes to this stuff, but you can probably get away with it.

Just be warned, though, that too many LEDs and/or sloppy wiring can cause permanent damage to your motherboard.

Nine LEDs should pull less than 200ma so it's not all that much.  It depends on your MB.

It's your call.   :)
