Make Xbox Power Light Red Instead Of Green

Change the color of the power button light circle on the xbox to red.

Step 1: Open Xbox

There are screws under the rubber feet and stickers under the xbox. Remove and lift the top off.

Softmod it with xbmc, then you can just control the color: orange, green, red, or all three in a cycle.

i remember doing this way back when i actually had an original xbox (sold it for $360 in 2006 (haha my $120 investment into a 300GB HDD and LED's actually payed off =) )
turned out that when i softmodded the thing i could do it without opening it lol

[daiatlus79]

that is what softmodding is... hardmodding is opening it up and/or any other hardware modifications

[redstarsrbija]

yes...... i know.......

You know you can do this faster if you just drop your system down some stairs... haha

XBMC all the way that's how I would do it.

You can do this if you mod your firmware. I have it set so that by default the color is orange and then when it is playing content (movies, music etc.) the light turns off. Nice instructable though.

You might be able to do half and half with different wire switching. The other end plugs into the mother board you do not need glue. The wires can pop out and back in the white plastic part with out cutting or soldering.
