Fused LED Light Replacement

Introduction

The LED light bulb consists of many small LEDs connected in series. Whenever a single LED gets fused, the circuit is broken and the Light bulb stops functioning, even though most of the LEDs are still in working condition.

Use this guide to repair a fused bulb by easily replacing a fused LED with a new LED and completing the closed circuit through which the current flows again and lights the bulb.

Use a battery or a cell with connecting wires and apply them to the exposed solder ends on each LED.
The LED which doesn't lights up is detected as the faulty LED.

Step 3

Using a knife or screwdriver, remove the faulty LED.
We need to replace it with a similar LED or a resistor.
Connecting the terminals directly can result in an increased current and multiple LED failure.
