Tengugurl Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hi there! I have a 7800 that I just did a cap kit and av mod on recently but noticed that my led for the power button doesn’t illuminate anymore. I can’t seem to find a replacement bulb listing on console5 or a forum stating “it’s 5v etc… buy this bulb” any pointers from anyone on which bulb to buy? thanks!

+Mitch Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Did you check to make sure that the LED is still getting 5V? The LED is just standard red 5V LED. Unless you are in Europe in which case it is a green 5V LED. Are you looking for amp rating? Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengugurl Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Ahh, thank you! I did, I checked the solder joint and noticed it was not great but the bulb legs internally look blown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Pretty much any 5mm sized LED can be used. There is already like a 120Ω resistor that goes from the +5 to the + lead on the LED. So the current is dropped enough for pretty much any LED to be used. However, when using Blue, UV, or any other crazy bright LED, I will replace the original with a 460Ω resistor instead to limit the current even more so it isn't laser light in your eye blinding when using the system.
