MEtalGuy66 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Has any one hacked a power led for the XF551? 1024905[/snapback] Heh. Yeah thats a REAL complicated hack. Just put a 220 ohm resistor in line with an LED from any 5v source on the main board to ground. (be sure and get the polarity correct on the LED) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hmmm, that 5v could come off of the power cord of the drive mech. 1024955[/snapback] I think there are actually four-pin passthrough cables (meant for low-voltage system fans) that can pull out the 5V for you.

krupkaj Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 on my old XF i had 2 color power LED with write protect switch, when the LED emitted green light it was possible to write to disk if the light was red, the floppy was write protected.
