Multi Panel button LED not working

Post by waterman981 » 10 Apr 2020, 01:29

The LED under the HDG button has stopped illuminating for me. Both in sim and just using the test functionality in SPAD.next all the buttons activate correctly, including HDG, it just doesn't illuminate. I pulled it apart and didn't see any obvious signs of damage to components. Anyone ever repaired this part?

Here's a picture with the lights on: https://i.imgur.com/Wes4i6h.jpg

And lights off: https://i.imgur.com/dIVA1es.jpg

The back side: https://i.imgur.com/7dfHR4B.jpg

As you can see the switches and LED's are through hole, but there is some surface mount components on the back side. So the heading switch button is just left of D19, with the LED just left of it.

I hope you have luck fixing yours and have some advice.
