Either I have a few burned out LED lights ..... Assuming the lights are burned out, does anyone know a part number for replacement bulbs and is it just a pop the front panel operation?
They are not light bulbs, they are LEDs. LEDs seldom fail, so I think it
is much more likely that it is a fractured solder connection or a
coroded connector. Look for ribbon cable or PC boards with connectors
that plug together, in the vicinity of the seven segment LED numerals
that are not working. If you just "excercise" the connector the problem
will go away, until a few days after you have put the covers back on.
Then it will fail again. If you use a good contact cleaner (my favorite
is Caig Laboratories DeOxit or Cramolin) it will last longer, unless it
is a fractured solder joint. In that case you will have to reflow the
solder. Inspect carefully while you have it open.
