I'm having a problem with one of the LED lights on my LOTR, the light either flickers or is completely off. It's one of the white elf LEDs on the ring LED light board towards the bottom of the playfield.
I've checked the ends of both connectors and they seem fine, also visually checked the LED board for any broken traces and I didn't see any. Could the LED just be going bad or is it something else? Thanks for any help.

One of the white bulbs on my board starting flickering years ago and finally went out a few months after. I went to radio shack and found an LED bulb that was the same size for less than a dollar from what I remember. Changing it out was a breeze.
Sorry I didn't see your reply from before. I just looked for the bulb that was the same size and white. Are there different choices in voltage for those size LEDs? The radio shack on my island is very limited, so I had just one choice for a led of that size and color, and it worked perfectly.
One of my friends who does board repair said to check the voltage on the LED so I don't fry the board. The LEDs that I found at my Radio shack appear to be the same size and color as well, the supply voltage says 3.3V - 3.6V (max). Just trying to play it safe before doing the repair.
Here's a link to the LED that I bought, is this the same that you used?
