Using Old Mouse as LED Controller

[muhammedaksam]

A few months ago my Razer Abyssus Essential's left click broke down. Instead of buying a new switch and replacing the switch I just bought Razer Viper Mini yesterday.

 

A had this idea when my mouse started to malfunction and search around internet to see what can I make with this e-waste. And I came across this videos.

And the explains it with a tutorial to how to make it.

 

I disassembled my Abyssus and tried to connect some wires to my LED strip. Unfortunatelly I forgot other end of the LED was still connected to regular LED controller. 12 volt went straight to D30 and it melt. I wanted to remove it and solder pad for Blue from D30 popped. After that I didn't wanted to continue to process and ask you about this. I couldn't find any datasheet or ext. to use that pins located at bottom. PCB says Gabbie 651000038550_V1.0

 

 

Also there is one in the front located at the bottom called D2. 

 

 

I might be missing something. I don't know that much about schemas and fancy stuff. My LED strip is probably designed for 12V and mouse provides 3-5V from VCC pins which is not enough. After melting the D30 LED at the back I tried connecting the 12V from my LED Controller directly to the strip and connecting R G B cables that I soldered to mouse to RGB pins. I was able to see my LED strips Green part was lighting just like de D2 led above.

 

Today I ordered a few Male to Male, Male to Female and Female to Female jumper cables to test stuff. If there is anybody tried something like this before or knows how to do it I would appreciate the help.
