5. Now lift up on the black tape along the edges and lift the front piece off exposing the LED's



6. Next desolder the current LED's and replace them with what ever color LED's you want. Don't worry if you burn the white film on the board a little bit.



7. Now reassemble the Chatpad and admire your work. (If the black tape doesn't stick back just use some hot glue. )

thanks for the pics

4. Now push the green circuit board through the front by pushing on these corners.
Is this pushing the face with all the buttons off the shell half?

Is the "black tape" part of the face?
I would love to see a picture of this before I tear apart my chat pad.

Thanks

yes it is pushing the circuit board out of the shell

the tape is attached to the plastic with the buttons

sticky???

That happened 2 weeks ago.

Nice RDC...sorry I was looking in the wrong section of the sticky's. I was thinking it would be up by the controller mods. Didn't notice you created a separate area for chat pad mods
