So 2 of the white leds on the ring board aren't lighting, seems to be a reasonably common issue, before ordering a new board i thought i would try replacing the leds and see if that fixes it. Anyone done this and any advice on what leds you used and where you bought them. Looks like the are standard 5mm leds, but thought i would check and see if anyone else has done this?

I've done it and it didn't go well. I couldn't find an exact match I was happy with. Wrote stern an email to get part numbers and specs for leds but they were way off and too bright. In the end I just replaced the whole board because one came up for sale. I still have my other one though and will get back to it eventually. For now it's been pushed to the back burner though.
Just a heads up that tried this tonight with some white leds my dad had and worked perfectly, first attempt fixed one of the two dead lights and second attempt got the other. So it can be done.
They were white 5mm leds, my dad had a package from a princess auto clear out a few years ago of radioshack items.

Wow. Marco has this board for $89. I remember when I first got my LOTR in 2008 those LED boards were around $39-49. Parts keep going up.

I have replaced a LED in mine as well. Just used a LED I had lying around from a key chain light.
