Each of those pink/purple dots are LEDs. You are seeing post-mod pictures of this. Those are the actual purple ones. You'd expect to see these partial clear LEDs. Those are your green ones. NOT to be confused w/ the black dots next to some of them! Those are resistors! (I think.. heehee!) Match up the pink/purple dots w/ your phone and you'll see what I mean. I'm not the best solderer/desolderer, so here's what I did: I applied the copper solder remover and soldering iron to each LED. Eventually you'll remove most of the solder. Then I would pry up on the LED w/ some tweezers while applying yet more heat. Some would come off, most would split in 1/2. Either way, you get them off.
Putting them on is the exact reverse. Just make sure you get the positive/negative orientation down. On the phone, there was a line indicating which side is negative on the LED board of your phone. Be sure to find out which side of your LED is negative to match it from the manufacture/supplier. It's easiest to apply a dab of solder to 1/2 of the LED, THEN position it on the LED board, heat up the dab of solder, and then align the LED. Afterward apply solder to the 2nd half of the LED.
