OMG

Please do NOT distribute technical information that you don't understand, ESPECIALLY when you are rephrasing it. I'm 99.9% sure he meant solder it to a certain point on the board, NOT to un-solder something from the board. You are only picking up some of the power, NOT rewiring the controller. Oh, and no matter how little power this takes, removing ANY power that the unit expects can be dangerous. It can underpower critical parts of the system and cause them to fry. I seriously doubt he did the research necessary to know how this will affect the power-sensitive portions of the control and he may find his control is dead in as little as a few days, or it may last years before dying. We don't know yet. Sure, this looks cool, and I'm actually considering the mod for one of my 'motes. But I'm willing throw throw away $40+ if it dies. If you aren't, don't do this.

Get real

Wow, this guy sounds like a hater, going dead? I have been modding system + controllers for 10 years with LED's. Sounds like we got a scared child who wants to protect there $20 classic remote, what a joke. The mod takes no battery life from any components on the wii remote or the classic.

mod video

does anyone know if there's an actual video of HOW to do this mod? IT sounds easy and I'm sure I could figure it out if I opened mine up, but i think it'd be better if someone would just make a quick video of what to do (it shouldn't even be long for someone who knows what they're doing).

mod instructions

could the creator or anyone do this mod and create a guide please!
