so you're doing electronics mod without a multimeter i wonder what voltage u're feeding that LED...hope the LED will last

i need the voltage reading to make sure. if its already 12V, why waste the money on a voltage regulator.

@zahri
maybe you can help us here. take the voltage readings on the capacitor and the LED.

@shah81,

Will do, once i have reached the "DONT CARE" state of mind

hehehe...... Dont worry that state of mind will be coming soon haha.......

wooo....a lot of valueble infomation is gone

yeah yesterday all guide u give gone.....

so rewind again that i remembered la hehheeh....
so where to start ..........

so this C1 n C2 that nearest the adaptor port......


so this is the +ve leg for that capasitor......


so what i do is measure the +ve C1 leg to -ve leg for adaptor......
so the reading is 8.8v...... then measure the C2, also the same.....
i recommended u all to measure 1st before connect it using ur fan
so i connect like this......

+ve Fan --> +ve C1 ........... -ve C1 --> -ve power adaptor

so now more cables out, but only the speed sensor that i using it......


another shoot......


so i think complete the mission......

really2 thanks to my bro, Shah81 that guide me with his skills to make this mod looks cool and 'cool' hehehehe

If the Capacitor read 35V no worries, coz that is the limit...

Meaning, if you never xceed 35V the capacitor should be able to handle it...

if exceed... then KABOOM!

why would the voltage be 35V when the adaptor is only outputing 18V???

it is already measured by 2uk3y that the voltage is only 8V.

it could be that they ordered the 35v volt CAP

aiyah... I never said the voltage is 35V...

Im saying, if you get higher rated capacitor voltage it will not damage the capacitor if there is a sudden increase in voltage/surge...

That is the good thing... but the downside is the size will be much bigger and price will increase too (compared to a same Farad capictor at lower rated voltage)

Yeah...... this is call nite surfing style wif LED Fan modem, great job!!

Anyone selling off their ZTE 831 ?

u want ok or faulty one ???? try search in garage sales, i saw ppl sell their faulty modem and also the ok modem.....!!!!
wanna mood ha....!!!

i searched already for the faulty one, could not find it,

i saw last time someone selling it,

was thinking of modding the faulty one... hehe....

I have one recommeandation to 2uk3y's modem mod...

Hey bro, since u've mod u're modem, why don't u spray the casing to another colour?

White?
Black?

Nice huh?

thanks for the idea bro.....
actually i want to spray it but to bz for that.... so i just leave it there......
so far no problem .... maybe a little bit dust that come in....

so after 6 month, i already feel bored with this mod.....
then i think wanna make some mod by transfer the modem curcuit to inside my casing.....
but i'm to bz la...... need to find some time to work that

wah modem will get so hot to require active cooling?

my cable modem like not much heat emitted at all

haha its not the heat problem just that most of the people in the mods section all NBTD haha so they mod anything they can get their hands on

Yeah?
Have u tried opening the case of you're modem and touch the IC on the modem itself?

Try it, then you'll know either you're modem is hot or not...

I think it will eat alot of dust inside?

nice work but the colour not really match to the modem.

better spray new colour like black

look stylish

haha lol.....modem oso can mod -.-!! my dvd burner oso hot , can it b mod =.=?
