if you are refering to the cf drive,there was no soldering involved,only thing ive had to solder so far was the potentiometer for the jog.

Really? I would love more info, pictures, step by step instructions whatever you can give. Those blue lights look sick too!

the destruktiv mod was for the 2000 only,2000xl got an internal IDE connection,so it`s just plug`n play....

^^you can get led's at radioshack or somewhere like wise,,then its just two little solder tabs that you have to de-solder,then replace with new led and re-solder,,then bango,there it is..
