what is the brass color looking thing under the soldering iron in step 7?

Soul Divide - Contestar

That's called 'Desoldering Braid', it sucks up solder like a wick

John Smith -

and what kind of LED are you using to replace?

This was great! Exactly what I needed with this. My GBC is looking good as new now!

Bw sure to research what LED colors work best. You often need to remove a resistor adjacent to the diode to allow for the colors white/blue/purple.
