I moved 4 butoons in the faceplate :

dude nice! um just out of curiosity don't you hate the smell that plastic makes when you touch a soldering iron to it?
It's more than the smell that you have to watch out for. Here's what I wrote in my worklog (post #58):Quote:

Good ventilation is an absolute requirement for this plastic welding. It's a smoky process, but it's more than smell that's an issue. I've been reading that breathing the fumes from it can result in chemical asthma -- permanent chemical asthma, not just something that goes away overnight. For people who already have asthma, plastic welding might be a process to avoid.
One thing is for sure: you really don't want to do this inside your house. I had to figure out a way to get the smoke and fumes away from my workspace. I started out using a 24-inch fan blowing out of the garage, but it wasn't enough. This stuff was like smoke from a campfire -- it seemed to follow me around. Now I've rigged a smaller fan right on the workbench to pull air away and direct it to the bigger fan. I'm breathing easier, now.
Thank you.Quote:

I use 2 protections :
A mask and a big fan. But I can't do this outside.
I stared the faceplate mod.
Here is a picture with the PCB before :

A little mod in order to put 2 SMD micro LED : one Blue (for POWER ON) and one Red (for HDD ACTIVITY).

Amazing. I think that you and Dejan have really gone to the limits for a fully integrated in dash PC.
I can only wish I had such talent for that kind of custom work.
Any update on this amazing project?
Coucouillu,
you are fantastically mad!
well done!
I changed micro LED from the lilliput screen.
They are normally BLUE. I changed them in RED like the OEM SYMPHONY II color.
