Destroyed one of the white illumination LEDs, others stopped working
-
Hello,
I accidentally destroyed one of the white illumination LEDs with a slipping screwdriver. Unfortunately the other 2 stopped working too…
Are they connected in serial and stop working all together or can I do something to at least use the remaining 2 LEDs?
Thanks in advance

Yes they are in serial, along with the resistors that are selected by either 12V or 24V. What voltage are you running at? if 12V then you can get away with switching the jumper to 24V and bridging across the LED. otherwise if you want to try replacing the LED the part number is:
CLM3C-WKW-CWBYA153
The schematic and layout is here:

Thank you, Tony, I will try to just bridge it, since I am running on 12V. I will as well order some LEDs and try to replace the destroyed one. Thanks for your help.

You could perhaps put a dollop of hot glue over some of the more sensitive areas near where a screwdriver might be. It might fall off though. You can also try clear silicone.
