Hello,
I have a piece of audio gear which has an illuminated power switch. The LED
inside flickers. Should I replace the LED, or is something else at play
here? I was under the impression (for no good reason) that LEDs are like
light bulbs - either they work or they don't -- no flickering.
Probably lead-free soldering cracking up!
Are you sure it's an LED? Neon lamps flicker when they get old.
