Title: A little smoke... LED upgrade Post by: aplmak on November 01, 2010, 08:47:30 PM Well I tried replacing some of the button and display lamps with two different JKL LED lights.. They are both are 12VDC lamps and I figured if anything could go wrong it would just burn the bulbs... well after I powered it up the button light did work but the smaller lamps for the coin lamp for example did not. A few seconds later a foul electronic burning odor started.. I immediately turned it off and took out the LED's but I don't know what I burned out.. I powered it back up and it worked fine... I think I burned a power supply somewhere inside.. Does anyone know what I may have burned out?? Where do these lamps get their power from??? I think it may have done some damage but didn't comletely burn out. Any help on what I may need to replace would be great!!! The LED's have some small resistors in them which could have caused an issue with a power supply... What voltage do these run on anyway??

Title: Re: A little smoke... LED upgrade Post by: jay on November 01, 2010, 08:55:02 PM It could be the resistors in the bulbs. Its usually the resistors that make the foul smelling stink.
That or the clutch....... oops no clutch on a slot. Title: Re: A little smoke... LED upgrade Post by: aplmak on November 01, 2010, 09:17:21 PM S+, This doesn't make sense... The bulb's resistors seemed to be ok after I took them out.. I don't know.. Perhaps something happened to go also right at that time when I was doing this.. the bill acceptor power supply maybe? I did not verify that... What voltage do these lamps run on for the buttons and denom and coin accepted,etc lights?? I have no idea what cooked...
This is where I got them from: http://www.jkllamps.com/index.cfm?action=fam&tid=4&fID=35 (http://www.jkllamps.com/index.cfm?action=fam&tid=4&fID=35) and these two part numbers: LE-0504-01W and LE-503-03W Title: Re: A little smoke...

S+ machines take 6 volt bulbs #555 I got mine from pinball life Title: Re: A little smoke...

Magic was trying to heat up his house last winter! Title: Re: A little smoke... LED upgrade Post by: aplmak on November 02, 2010, 12:42:21 AM Yup... fried resistor... will solder new one tomorrow... :) People who put in LED's should know this risk... the wires go on both sides of the wedge and this is what causes it...

Title: Re: A little smoke... LED upgrade Post by: aplmak on November 02, 2010, 11:40:33 AM Your right... I am putting 12V in a 6V.... have to get some 6V's... the 12's are a little dim... :)
