Well we done it, but its a bit more art than science. We were all ready with identical replacement LED's that fit on the board perfectly and were a match for the originals. But wouldn't you know it, 3 pin LED's are either common cathode or common anode (shared +'s or shared -'s) the ones we got were the opposite of what the Xbox 360 has. Necessity being the mother of invention we went with the little 0603's conveniently the common anode is right next to the cathode spot for green, so we put the negative side to the middle "green" pad, stand them on their side so the light goes toward the center of the PCB, positive side to the common pad and rock and roll.
