Introduction
The LED light bulb consists of many small LEDs connected in series. Whenever a single LED gets fused, the circuit is broken and the Light bulb stops functioning, even though most of the LEDs are still in working condition.
Use this guide to repair a fused bulb by easily replacing a fused LED with a new LED and completing the closed circuit through which the current flows again and lights the bulb.
Tools

-
-
Using a knife or screwdriver, remove the faulty LED.
-
We need to replace it with a similar LED or a resistor.
-
-
-
Using the soldering iron solder an LED or a 100Ω (2W or 5W) resistor into the faulty LED space.
