Hey, I just got a new TI-83 Plus SIlver Edition.


I can not read the keys or the display in the dark, imagine that. So, I had this idea.

Why not do this. Get some of the tiny LED's and put them throughout the calculator where the keys are, not on the bottom. these would be on all the time. on the other side (the back) i would put 4-6 flashing LED's just to annoy someone when we are using the DLP in class

Then, get four more of the tiny ones and have them put on the sides of the screen so you can read that in the dark as well.

total of say 10 TINY LED's on the front, 4-6 tiny leds on the back and then say 4 (white?) led's on the screen, but under the plastic so that you don't have anythign sticking out.

(sounds like a DBvader project for some reason...)

Anyway, think this will work? There is so much open space in teh calculator, that will CERTAINLY not be an issue.

My only worry is that NO ONE on the net has done this, not to any calculator that I have seen... SO I was thinking... anyone know of a site? Think it will work? Any tips? Know of a forum where they do this stuff? PC Mods.com has no forum...

Thanks for the input!
