Problem with Paradise Arcade LED Buttons - Wiring/Burnout
(1/2) > >>
BuriedEgg:
Hello,

I have had the illuminated 12v LED Push Buttons from Paradise Arcade Shop for over a year now and they keep burning out on me. Every couple of months the LEDs begin flickering and eventually burn out and have to be replaced.

I have them connected directly to the 12v molex on my MAME PC's PSU. Spliced directly on. May seem dirty but all of my other 12v LED illumination for my cabinet is connected this way without any problems for years now.

Does anybody know any reason why these LEDs specifically would be burning out? I thought maybe its a resistance problem or something but I don't know enough about the subject.

Thanks!

Nephasth:
How many have burned out?
BuriedEgg:
Good question. I think we're at 6 LED's replaced now. I have two LED Start buttons (P1 and P2) and I've had to replace them at least 3 times in the last year alone so that should be about 6 total.
Nephasth:
Have you tried running them on 5v? :dunno
BuriedEgg:
No, but I'll give it a shot tonight when I get home and report back here with results.

Thanks!
