What size SMD LEDs are in the SE Fight Stick?

Tech Talk

Just wondering what the stock size is of the SMD LEDs are in the SE Fight Stick I have some 0603 LEDs but they look smaller than the ones on the board.

Update: Traced out the LED lines, they use a common anode I was surprised I figured they would be a common cathode since the rest of the controller is common ground. After you remove an LED you can tell the polarity by a white dot under where the LED is

I forgot to take a picture of the 0603 LED soldered in place maybe next time I mod a stick I will take a picture of them.

Got the 0603 LEDs to work, you just need to be careful when centering them between the pads since they are smaller, a friend wants me to put purple in his SE I will take some pictures on the next install.

will you do a tutorial, since this interests me greatly.

Err, I dont think a tutorial will be very helpful. It’s just desolder the existing LEDs and solder the new ones in. It’s not hard as far as surface mount soldering goes, but it IS surface mount soldering.

I agree with Toodles 100% I will be taking about 3 pics and I will point out an alternate spot for in case you rip a pad and I will only be changing the player indicators as I don’t even use the turbo and could care less about their LEDs.

i was curious because i was soldering lines from the 360 pad player indicators to my ps3 turbo lights and the lights either melted, went missing, or just burned out =P

and i wasn’t aware i could replace them.

Haha I know that game, I have off from work tomorrow and I got the SE from my friend so I plan to post the pictures sometime tomorrow.

If you want some new LEDs I get mine from Unique Leds High Quality hard to find LED and LED products with fare shipping and everyday low pricing
