Do anyone know what the specifications is for three LEDs (Num/Caps/Scroll-lock) in a Cherry G80-3000? I want to replace mine with red instead of original green. But I don't know what kind of SMD diods to get... Size? Voltage? Mcd?
Please help...
Red diodes operate at a much lower forward voltage drop, so they'll pass more current than the greens would have if you just drop them in. I'd recommend replacing the resistors with higher value-d ones as well, or adding another resistor in series.
Also: Are you user they're SMD? Most of the indicator LED's I've seen are standard through-hole (5mm I think?) ones.
