    Default Midi Fighter LED easter egg Mod. Quick question

    In the vid, ean says the LED with the longer stub goes to the left and the short goes to the right BUT, in the next clip he has it reversed. Whick way does it go? Any help would be great!

    -Also, he mentions shorting out the circuit. Does that mean I just connect some lead wire into both holes?

    LED is a diode so it will only pass current one way. Can you not just test before soldering?

    the positive side is on the right. the video threw me off as well. i think it was an error, but there wasn't any mention of a change and the next shot of the mf does show the led flipped around. to short out the circuit, you can use some wire or just solder both points together.

    I now have soldering experience and realize I could just test it before solder...

    So it works, but I put a high intense LED in there and its not bright enough. How many leds can one connect? Would it be possible to attach some 5mm LEDS? I want this baby to shine
