Silky999 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I followed Agedhorse’s excellent “how to” to remove the old blue leds and install some new slightly smaller and less bright ones. They were working intermittently so I bit the bullet despite them only serving an aesthetic purpose. It can be done with the PCB in situ with the valves removed. I’d say a solder sucker and some liquid flux is a must to be able to do the job as you are soldering in a very small area and it would be easy to over solder. The PCB clearly shows the + and — holes. I put 3mm 30mA leds in cut to length which are not as bright as the stock but ample for the purpose.

paul_5 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It’s probably not as easy, but increasing the value of the current limiting resistor that’s in series with the LED would make it dimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
