Led Help

[Stevesault]

I have two bulbs that need to be replaced they are corroded and also a fuse in the powers supply can anyone help me out I do not know how to do it I have the new bulbs but I do not know what fuse I need as of yet

 

[MrHermit85]

What type of unit is it? Diy or modular? What brand and model number is the power supply? What kind of Leds? Are they soldered in or solder less quick connects and pasted to heatsink or are they screwed in (drilled and tapped heats ink? )

Whatever the case most are Farley easy to replace just provide the above details and will be happy to help!

Yes, a little more info please. LEDs are easy to replace (typically), not sure about the driver issue yet though.

if they are soldered i have a de-soldering pen if needed

 

[MrHermit85]

The fuse should be easy though, just pop it out and Google any letters that are on it and places to purchase will come up. Otherwise check the paperwork that came with it and it should say what fuse to use.

All I can tell you is it's DIY the LEDs are stuck on no bolts and Soldered

 

[MrHermit85]

OK cool so they are stuck on with heatsink plaster. You can pop them.off with a butter knife fairly easily OR flat head screwdriver. Have you bought replacements yet? Have you got what you need to do the soldering? *iron, solder, Flux, rubbing alcohol...)

How much do.you need to know about soldering? I can walk you through from the beginning if you like?

I have 3 of the Chinese leds and the blues on 1 has blown(?), had it fixed and its gone again, when you figure out Steve's lights do you want to work on mine, lol..new lights are not in the budget this month..

 

[TORX]

Mine blew a short while later as well. I ended up just adding a jumper wire and bypassing the LED.

 

[Stevesault]

soldering is no problem thanks man I don't have the plaster to put the new ones on where do I get it

 

[MrHermit85]

As far as heathers lights it's the blue half of the circut. I jumped the old blown leds but some more must have blown.

they have all blown now, they are just cheap lights... I thank you for trying to fix them...just joking that maybe there was a quick fix for them.. something's cheap work and something's don't...

If it's the same string blowing all the time maybe just change out the driver? Are they cheap China brand drivers or pricier? You can get those cheap ones on aliexpress for a few bucks woth free shipping usually...
