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.

Thanks for the tips, will try to reflow first. If that doesn't work I'll go for the new LED bulb. Any chance you remember the part number from radio shack?

Trying to replace the White (Elf ring) LED, does anyone know the specific type of LED it is? I found a similar LED at Radio Shack, but I'm not sure of the voltage on the originals. Can't find it listed in the manual.

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?

Excellent! Thanks for the info, going to try soldering it in sometime this week.
