#284321 - 10/07/2006 21:31 Button LED kit - LED voltage?
Narkotic member Registered: 20/02/2002 Posts: 158	I'm tired of searching... I need to replace the button LED's on my player (long story). In 3mm size / white I can only find 3volt. I believe it's outputting 5volt at each pad? I'm at the office so I can't meter it. If they are indeed 5 volt, got any links to where I can get some? Thanks!

If you are using the kit resistors and your LEDs have a lower forward voltage, you may need to adjust the resistor values so as not to overload the drive circuitry in the display board. If they are 3 volts it should be close enough though. Hope this helps, Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!
