Quoted from gtxjoe:Where were the LEDs manufactured?
The People's Republic of China.
Quoted from PACMAN:So I had a fun experience today. Fired up my original (not restored) Spirit and the new Rottendog driver board had a couple traces burn up and this LED caught fire. Game was working fine before. LCD was new from Coin Taker.
What do you think caused this?
Have you verified that all fuses in the machine are of the proper value? That looks like an overfused circuit. Or, the board is poorly designed for the machine or it is not supposed to be used with LED's.
Quoted from pinballplusMN:I'm wondering if leds are used if the fuse values protecting their circuit should be lowered. An example would be a 5 amp gi circuit. If an led faults it will take alot of time for the fuse to blow as the circuit uses less current than 5a . ?
A very good point. Time for reengineering. A fee may be charged.....
