Mac Mini's HH LED prep
Using the hobby knife; scrape off enough solder mask to mount your desired color. The author used a 1206 SMT LED - Orange from Digikey - A Stanley AA1101W.
IF your using a standard low voltage LED (red, yellow, orange) with a Vdrop ~2V continue. Else skip the next step cutting the trace below.
Cut the long trace on the Kathode (+) side of the LED. Make the cut wide enough to fit a 604 SMT resistor:
