Add a led to your Xbox to see hard disk activity

This mod is quite risky, especially if you
can not solder with precision 

xboxIcon Legal Issues

xboxIcon 1. How To

Required:
  • LED
  • Resistor 220 Ohms

The resistor (value depending of the LED power) has to be soldered on the longest LED wire



+5 Volts is taken from the connector, you can open the connector and close it without any difficulties

The trickiest part is to solder on pin39 the signal (negative)

You should also verify carefully your soldering, this tool may help












Drill a 3mm hole or bigger depending on LED size

Final Result

this mod has nothing related to the modchip or XBMC or homebrew running apps. It
just show You the activity of the hard disk, nothing more.

I like to see what
the disk do when the machine run...just like under windows...

I ALLWAYS want to know when my hard drive is in use.

I built a video editing
monster for my studio and it has 8 300gb HDs. The stock LED wasn't enough on my
case so I put this mod on my pc so there are now 7 HDLEDs on the front of the
case, the CD drive already has one.

PS this mod works on all IDE style HDDs,
not SATA or SCSI, although SCSI should have one of the pins for activity light,
just not pin 39 (someone post it maybe?)
