I am interested in learning how to replace a Dolby LED on a BACP RSLH-2 LED module. I tried pulling the LED, but noted that the long LED leads seemed anchored to something within. I havn't investigated any further yet. I have ordered a couple of Dolby LEDs though anticipating that I'll be able to pull it off. Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

The LED` is directly soldered to a foil circuit board on the backside of the RSLH-2.

You need a de-soldering tool to remove the old LED plus of course a very small Philips screwdriver to take off the LED cover. You also need some very small Teflon tubing to insulate the LED leads.

Or, you can do a repair exchange on the RSLH-2 with either BACP or USL. Cost is $95.
