Case Modding for rockboxes

Purpose of document

Where myself I am not sooo intrested in modifying my device, I know some others do, and I thought it would be nice to get a small collection of useful links in that area.

Display-Modding (mainly Backlight)

JoergHohensohn (aka [IDC]Dragon) is known to do some weird things in that direction.
First of all, he replaced the rather green led's (4 pieces) with very white ones.

See this for more information: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2005-03/0260.shtml

Then, he added backlight to his ondio as he found out that the ondio-pcb was very well prepared for that. See OndioBacklight for a more complete description of that.
The used EL-backlight-foil can be found at www.jelu.se

Button-Modding

www.jelu.se has a few very nice thing for these kind of moddings:

• a joystick, where I could not yet figure out if that one would allow to go diagonal, which seems painfully needed for Rockboy, the Gameboy emulator plugin
• a slidebutton

Disk Storage

again www.jelu.se delivers a cf-hdd-adapter.
