L.E.D Voltage
Not sure if anyone performed an l.e.d. color change, but the 3.6 v l.e.d.'s don’t work in a vci-100. I checked the voltage with a multimeter across a few of the button l.e.d.'s and the voltage read ranged from 1.4, 1.5, 1.45, 1.5.
Therefore 3.5v l.e.d.'s that have been suggested elsewhere in these forums are incorrect. You need 1.5 volt l.e.d.s to make this mod work.

I had a feeling this might be the case.
Read the problems I’ve had here: HELP - I've butched my VCI trying to change LEDs!!!
I bought the same LEDs suggested in this DJTT Post:

Can we get a spec on the LEDs and perhaps a weblink to buy ?
They are 3mm leds. 5mm would fit also but they dont fit under the jogs.
I got mine from ebay(Pardon Our Interruption...)
. But it took close to 3 weeks to get here since they are based in hong kong. If you order before hand it shouldn’t be a problem though.
