I really need help finding this led https://www.netdisty.net/ds/rab362/Default.asp If anyone out there can help me that would be great I was going to use it to mod out a doc5 (just change the nasty display color from amber to Blue like here http://www.animeguru.com/digidoc5/digidoc5.html Problem with the first link I posted is you have to be a company to buy from them meaning you have to buy like 50 pieces can't just get one or two if anyone knows of a good site to buy L.E.D.S from Please help this mod NewB thanks to all who reply
You're gonna have an uphill battle. Your best bet is to get your mates together and organize a group buy through some small storefront shop. You'll have to convince the guy he won't get stuck holding on to a bunch of excess inventory, cause those are kind of steep. Have you looked on the LEDtronics site for a local distributior and contacted them? I have a local source that gets the minimum order down to US$50 (and no I won't send you some, don't bother to ask--sorry but I'm moving in the next few weeks).
I just emailed a guy who did this exact mod to his digi-doc. His article is up at virtual hideout (sorry don't know how to link yet). It took him a while to get those leds. He had a local shop order them for him. I'm surprised maplins doesn't have them they seem to have every other damn thing. I will let you know if I hear anything.....I want a blue digi doc too!
Thanks I saw another way to mod your doc5 so it's BLUe but it's kind of bootleg and you have to cut it up alittle here is link it uses two 5mm led normal ones I guess i'm alittle new to this = \ http://www.bit-tech.net/article/61/ Problem with this the light seems uneven and it seems brighter in the middle of the screen and darker toward to edge but it's blue =\ well please keep me posted on anything you find Please
If you want this, you're going to have to go through a LEDtronics distributor. You may get a smaller minimum order. Big Hint: http://www.led.net/pages/domestic_dists.htm#CONNECTICUT But that's all the help--I'm not gonna call around to see who has them in your area.
There is a guy in the hard forums rounding up a group of people to buy these. Search the forums then email him and im sure he'll hook you up. he has a few colors i think red,green,blue
Your best bet is to pop over to http://www.rscomponents.com They are a major company supplying all the bits you'll need, i get me LED's there for Mobile Phone Modding...
That would be me. Linear pointed out that there were people in this forum who wanted in on this, so email me at digidoc@animeguru.com for more info, or check out the post I've got going in the modding forum. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5578 I've got an order in for green and blue, but I can add red for those interested. Just let me know. Hope that helps everyone out!!
Maybe http://www.maplin.co.uk/ in the UK may sell them? Just a thought but they usually have a nice selection of LEDs. Infact, I'll have a look for you now. Chey chey@phearfactory.co.uk Phear Factory http://www.phearfactory.co.uk/
The closest I got was this... Maplin Code: QW96E I doubt its what you are wanting but hope that helps in some way. Its probably best to have a look at the site yourself. Then again, I just looked in the catalogue for it so maybe they might sell them but I dunno.. Chey chey@phearfactory.co.uk Phear Factory http://www.phearfactory.co.uk/
Thanks Thanks for taking the time to look. I got some of those type from radio shack that's an electronic chain store here in the US they still don't fit quite right = ( Desperately Seeking Right Angle LED'S
