Step 2Remove LED's
Before removing the LEDs, I took quick measurements while the drive was on with my trusty multimeter to get the voltage. I then ordered some suitable red replacements that would fit the leads on the board.
Removing the LEDs was not that hard. I tried a hot air "pencil" that I made from an air pump and a desoldering iron, but the solder failed to flow completely. Because of this and my lack of patience, the first two LEDs I took off brought one the leads from the board with them. I switched to a real soldering iron (WESD51) and had no problems thereafter.
