My blue LED just died....... How long do these things last? My computer has a black case with four clips at the top a silver front panel and 4 drive bays up top. In the front are two LED indicators one red, an almost laser red too I might add it's very bright. The other one is or was blue but it just died.... It's been dead for about two weeks now just wondering if blue LED's have a shorter life then traditional red ones?

All LED's should have a similar life span, you should be able to find a new one for probably 4$(au) and put it in yourself if you have a soildering iron

It was a dark and stormy night, and John Leister managed to scribble: > My blue LED just died....... > > How long do these things last? > > My computer has a black case with four clips at the top a silver > front panel and 4 drive bays up top.

LEDs rarely die - check the connection to the motherboard. Jaycar/Dick Smith sell LEDs in a variety of colours starting from about 25 cents. gtoomey

Well the red LED goes to the connector on the board via a 330 ohm resister. The same set up for the blue one except that the blue one is supposed to be the power indicator....

As for one color lasting longer than the next I have never heard of such a thing. My occupation is a electronics repair tech so if the LED is not lighting up the it is eather shorted or the conection to the LED is Open some where in the circuit. Just my two cent's
