Re: Cracking Open the MR Falcon to fix front LED. SEE POST #16 AND #17... IT'S THE B
S U C C E S S !!!!!
I am back in action!!!
Both front LEDs are now working!
Here's what I did:
I found (among my ridiculous collection of useless old power adapters) an adapter rated for 10V. (The factory one packaged with the Falcon was 9V). I plugged it in and sure enough, both lights worked! But I was nervous about using more voltage than the one that came with it, so I quickly unplugged it. Resolving to go to Radio Shack with some questions, I plugged back in the original adapter, and lo and behold, they are now both working, just as they used to, with the original adapter!!
I have no idea why this worked. Maybe the extra voltage was enough to give it a little kick in the butt.
I am so excited to have this beautiful, centerpiece collectible finally restored to its original condition.
