|
|

|
This text file does not really need a disclaimer. I don't really care what
|
|
you do. Have
|
|
fun!!!

Introduction|
|
|
------------+
|
|
|
|
In no way do I claim to be the first to think of this. I have seen it done
|
|
many times by
|
|
many people. But I have yet to see a textfile written about it. So since i'm
|
|
bored I'll throw in
|
|
my 2 cents on the matter.
|
|
|
|
Computer modding has become very popular in the computer world today.
|
|
People do random and
|
|
often times uneccesary things to there computers. From changing the case to
|
|
adding blinking
|
|
lights to installing a built in blender, its all been done. Many of the same
|
|
concepts can be applied
|
|
to phreaking( except maybe more practical ideas). This isn't a strict
|
|
guideline; its just some
|
|
ideas to get you thinking.

How to make your phone lighter|
|
|
------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
Have you ever taken a phone apart? If not do it now; if you have you may
|
|
have notice a
|
|
large chunck of metal is the base. They put that in there to keep the phone
|
|
stationary, but this is
|
|
unecessery for beige boxing. So remove this peice of lead by unscrewing it(
|
|
some aren't even
|
|
screwed in, which makes an easy task easier). Don't throw the lead away,
|
|
start a collection. Soon
|
|
you will have a whole room full of lead phone weights. These can also be
|
|
melted down and made
|
|
into bullets( or thown at people and/or things).
|
|
|
|
|
|
LED Backlight Mod|
|
|
-----------------+
|
|
|
|
You know those green backlights on the keypad? If your sick of them, they
|
|
can be replaced
|
|
with any color of the rainbow cheaply and easily with minimal equipment.
|
|
|
|
The Materials Needed Are:
|
|
|
|
Phone(I prefere the "freedom phone" or the "favorite")
|
|
Screwdriver
|
|
2 LED's(check you phone to see the size)
|
|
Soldering Iron
|
|
Solder(duh)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now that you have the items needed, its time to take it apart. The headsets
|
|
can be
|
|
EXTREMELY annoying to take apart without breaking it( this depends on the
|
|
phone you have). Once you have
|
|
it apart, remove the LED's.Put your new ones in and resolder. Put the phone
|
|
back together and
|
|
plug it in. If it work congradulations, if not you're a failure in life and
|
|
a discrace to your
|
|
family.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A New Look|
|
|
----------+
|
|
|
|
A regular phone isn't very compicated. The base has very little circuitry,
|
|
and
|
|
because of this it can be munipulated into a much smaller space. You can put
|
|
it in a plain box,
|
|
a Tape player, a tube of butter, ect. Just unscrew the circuitry and put it
|
|
in its new container.
|
|
You must make a button or switch to hang up the phone.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion|
|
|
----------+
|
|
|
|
Many of the above ideas are commonsense, and really need no instruction.
|
|
But perhaps this
|
|
file will help someone or give you some ideas. If nothing else, you'll be
|
|
the only kid on the
|
|
block with a yellow and red backlighten phone.
