Ive had this laptop for a short little while, and I like it a lot more than my old one, but it lacked a little bit of personal flair, something that really made it my own.

Ive seen so many instructables on making a light up design like macs have, but so far none like what I did.
So here it is:

Step 1The plan

The plan
So my main idea was to have a lit up paw on the back of my screen, like macs have the apple.
it was also to use the light given off by the back of the LCD.
I was working on another sound reactive project when i thought of making that glowing design sound reactive too.
I also wanted to make it multicolored but I cant get those 0603 LEDs very easily so just white would have to do.

But you need the tip 31 circuit, not just solder it to sound output.
