    Node 202 Power led change/dim/swap?

    thanks, yeah i was hoping for something a little more controllable. i was wondering if there is an LED extension wire i could modify with a resistor so i dont screw up the case wire. the 202 has that proprietary panel that the wire is part of that i really dont want to screw up. would i be...

    Node 202 Power led change/dim/swap?
