Easy DIY, Fix, Repair dark, weak, flickering or dead SMD LED lightbulb

The problem:

The SMD LED lightbulb is very weak and dark or just dead. Sometimes it also can flicker.

The tools:

• soldering iron

• solder

• screwdriver

• pliers

The solution:

Remove the bulb from the base with the pliers. My bulb was only clipped to the base.

Then look for the dead SMD LED element. Usually it has a tiny dark brown or black dot in the middle. There can be multiple dead elements.

Carefully remove the yellow SMD LED element with a screwdriver and expose the 2 metal contacts.

Connect the 2 metal contacts with the soldering iron and a little solder.

Repeat this for all dead SMD LED elements.

Attach the bulb back to the base.

Done!
