Blown LED On Tumbler...Any Fix?

[Bigtrain2682]

So this may of been covered, for which i apologise, but i've searched and cannot find an answer.

I picked up a second hand Tumbler and its in great condition other than an LED has dimmed by where the cockpit slides. Has anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Dim or not lit? Hard to say what the problem is without a concrete description. If it is defective, LED's are quite easy to come by. Hard part would be matching the color, but it is probably a regular bright white. You can replace it with some simple soldering (just don't mix the anode and cathodes up or it won't light).

I had LED's on my tumbler that would not light. Had to disassemble and then fix a broken connection with solder. Very easy once you have access to the led.
