might come in use for anyone doing the conversion

being a soldering expert i have two comments - static and use two soldering irons one in each hand to remove the leds.

this prevents the risk of pulling the pad off the pcb, which is so soeasy to do

If you make a ballsup of it I can repair the pads and tracks for you and finish the job

As for 2 soldering irons well tbh I just use a small tipped iron and a pair of needle nosed pliers and wiggle it off, aint had an issue with tracks or pads coming off but I used to do PS2's
