Title: How to Change Bulb in This Button (Shown)
Post by: secondchanceslots on April 20, 2013, 02:34:44 PM
Hey Slot Crew,

Forgive my noob question, but I can't seem to get this button assembly open to change the bulb. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance to the invincible NLG forums! :-)

White part is pressed into the black part. Will be kind of tight taking apart and putting together. Some people pop the lens cover off the top and use a forceps to change the bulb as the access is easier if the switch is mounted inside a machine. There are some versions that are twist-lock and come apart rather easily, which you can determine by trying to twist it

Also, if you pop the lens off, you can often get the bulb out using a piece of heat shrink.... Forceps will usually break the bulb.
I do like the twist and pull buttons.

Yikes. They really didn't make this easy! Turned out that taking the lens cover off was easier. The bulb inside is already an LED and not at all what I was expecting to find in there. This is my welcome to the wonderful world of reconditioned slots, lol. :-)
