If you've fitted a Region Switch to your NTSC Game Cube then you may want to replace the ordinary orange LED with a dual colour LED. During the region switch install mmmonkey used a DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) switch, so the spare row of connectors can be used for this mod.

Si has instalado un [Interruptor_para_cambiar_región_NTSC interruptor para cambio de región] en tu Gamecube, puede que quieras cambiar el led naranja, por uno de dos colores. En la instalación usaremos un interruptor DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw).
  
Proper dual colour LED's can be expensive and quite limiting on the colour combinations available.   mmmonkey wanted a blue and white LED and already had some 3mm blue LED's as well as a bag of 3mm white LED's, but couldn't find anywhere selling suitable dual colour LED's for a sensible price. You do not have to use these colours of course, just make sure the 2 LED's are the same specification (mmmonkey used 3.3v 3mm LED's).

Led de dos colores pueden ser caros y con limitaciones en el color. Mmmonkey usó un led azul de 3.3v, y luego compró unos blanco de mismo del mismo volatje, al no poder encontrar otros por un precio razonable. No hay que elegir estos colores, pero si hay que asegurarse que ambos led tienen las mismas especificaciones (en nuestro caso LEDs de 3.3v 3mm).
  
The theory is quite simple, we need to flatten 2 3mm LED's and glue them together, mmmonkey used some fine Wet + Dry sand paper to sand each LED down so it was flat (if you have a very fine needle file you could use this instead, ideally you need a smooth finish to help the glue stick).
+
La teoría es simpe, tenemos que aplanar dos leds de 3mm, y pegarlos juntos. Mmonkeya usó papel de lija para aplanarlos (si tienes limas de agujas también se puede usar, aunque necesitará un poco de pegamento para acabar el trabajo).

Make sure you don't flatten it too much, be careful not to sand down to the metal inside the LED, flatten both and if possible connect up to a suitable power source to check that the LED still works.  Now, super glue them together, making sure that you have the correct legs lined up together (the cathode legs of each LED should both line up, and then of course the anode legs will also line up) .  Test the fit of the LED in the case of the console, if it doesn't fit then carefully sand it down a bit more, it should just fit into the small dimple.

Asegurate de no aplastarlo demasiado, y se cuidadoso de no lijar el interior del LED, al aplanar los dos, es recomendable conectarlos a una fuente de alimentación adecuada para comprobar que aún funcionan. Con el pegamentos, pégalos, asegurándote que las patas están bien conectadas (las patas del cátodo de cada LED deberían estar en línea, y luego las patas del ánodo deberían de estar de igual forma). Prueba a ponerlo en la consola, y si no cabe entra, ten cuidado al lijarlo un poco. Debería de entrar sin problemas.

Of course, mmmonkey couldn't resist testing them to see what they looked like lit up again!

Now remove the existing LED, making note of its orientation (the cathode/negative leg is on the left as you're looking at the front of the console).  Obviously it's a lot easier to remove the old LED using a de-soldering pump or braid.

First thing to do is to check the new LED for the Cathode (negative) leg (you can look inside the LED and see it's the larger piece of metal), carefully look at the first photo below and cut the first negative leg, bend and solder it to the other negative leg.

Now bend the single remaining negative leg, comparing it to the original LED to make sure you have the bend in the correct place.  Look carefully at the photos below and bend one of the positive legs as close to the plastic of the LED as you can, then trim all the legs (don't trim them too short, you'll cut them to length after soldering into place).

When this new LED is fitted to the console, only the single negative leg will actually go through the circuit board and be soldered into the same place as the old LED.  The two positive legs should fit with one coming straight down the front of the circuit board, and the other bent so it is sticking out the back of the circuit board.  Test fit the LED, making sure that you have the positive and negative around the correct way, mmmonkey found the following a nice fit.

Now you'll need some wire to link up the LED to the switch at the rear of the console.  You'll need three pieces of wire, one to carry the power to the switch, and another two for each positive leg, mmmonkey used some IDE cable, strip the ends of the wires and tin them by melting a small amount of solder to them.  Leave one of the wires longer to reach the positive leg coming straight down the front of the circuit panel.

Solder one wire (the middle wire if you've used the IDE cable) to where the original LED got it's power from, then insulate it to stop the new positive legs shorting out on it later on. Make sure the insulation tape for the power lead doesn't cover the hole for the negative leg.

Now solder the LED into place, solder the negative leg into where the original LED's negative leg was and carefully trim the excess off, then solder the remaining leads to the positive legs of the LED, again - carefully trim the legs if needed.  mmmonkey would probably try soldering the wires before putting the LED in place next time, the front positive LEG was awkward!
