Hey guys, bit of a weird one. My computer has a blue power LED and in the modifying of my case with the worlds worst spray paint, I decided the power LED would look better as an ultra bright red LED. For the life of me, I can't find a high street store that sells the fiddly little bleeders! I've found places selling LED's and cables but I cant find the connectors to a motherboard or a complete piece.. Any help on where I could get one of these things would be very much appreciated! I've tried Maplins, PC World, Currys, Comet and a few high street shops near me.
Thanks again, Razer. |

It might be easier to just by the LED and do a straight swap between them.
Maplin or CPC will sell you one for sure. EDIT: Or here, this actually attaches to a Molex rather than the PW connector. But of course the Molex will only get power when you turn the PC on so I see no reason why you can't use this

Cheers, I'll have a look into something similar in UK! =)
So if I had some solder, a soldering iron and and LED, it would be easy enough to whack a red LED on the end of an existing power LED? Taking off the old LED of course. I'm pretty competent with a soldering iron so shouldn't be much of an issue. The solder might be though, I'll look into it! Thanks mate |

Ah sorry, I'm in UK as well, I didn't see the dollar price tag
