I got the blues...

		I was just modding my dreamcast and putting in a blue LED. When I soldered that bad boy in an powered-up (this is when I aquired the blues) the LED didn't light up. Then I noticed that when I was soldering, I accidentally ripped off some copper from the board. Can anyone cure my DC LED blues?

		I just remembered, if anyone knows what pin I can solder to alternately, that would help.

		your LED will burn out within a few days, since you are using a 5V line for a 3.3V LED. put a 75 ohm resistor on that line, and it will live nearly forever.
