Crap! 26V on 5V backlight!

[kurt-olsson]

I just made a stupid misstake of putting 26V on 5V backlight on my OEM bleed air panel! =(
It lit up really bright and now its nothing when connecting my 5V to it.

I guess i fried all the bulbs! Do i need to solder them or how do you replace these bulbs?

any one have a good reference to change them?

Ok,
I removed the liggtplate and opened it.
I just had the 26V lighting on for 1sec.

All bulbs work (pheeew) but there is bad contac somewhere.
Can anyone spot any fault with this connection?

I can get lighting when putting the cables against the contact but it is really glitchy.

Did i destroy / melt anything when putting on the 26V?

[kurt-olsson]

its definently the contact between the metalplate and the liggtplate thats not works good.

If i put cables direct on the lightplate it works.

I have other panels that glitches.

Anyone had problems with this type of connector and what did you do to solve it?

[kurt-olsson]

Glitchy as hell.

If i tighten the two upper screws on the lightplate it stops working, and if the panel is slightly loose it works...

Any tip is welcome!

It was the ground terminal connector!!!

Problem solved!

Wonder how many hours i destroyed on the bulbs when putting on 26V for 1sec?

[kurt-olsson]

One more panel that it lit up!

Wonder if i change all the bulbs in the future the color of the backlight will be matching 100%?

Some panel has more dark red and other more bright yellow.
