okay here, btw i went to radioshack bought all parts but they were out of 27 resistors so i had to go to 50 and and also out of 180 so i went to 150, but not even the red power led will not turn on




since you weren't able to get the exact components, could it be possible you got your stuff fried cause too much power went thru, or not being able to power on caude too little power is going thru?

resistors are there to prevent too much electricity from flowing, without them, depending on your power source, you will either significantly reduce the lifetime of the leds, or will simply fry them the first time your power the thing on :/
