Did your LED lamp burn out? Don’t throw it away! This simple trick can fix it in minutes—with just a pencil! No need to spend money on new bulbs when you can repair them for free at home.
What You’ll Need:
A burnt-out LED lamp
A pointed object (small screwdriver or knife)
A pencil
(yes, really!)
Tweezers wrapped in electrical tape
A marker
(to identify the faulty LED)
Step-by-Step Guide to Fixing Your Lamp:
Remove the Lamp Cover
- Gently pry off the acrylic cover using a pointed tool.
- This part isn’t glass—just plastic, so it comes off easily.
Identify the Faulty LED
- Plug the lamp in and turn it on.
- Use the tweezers wrapped in electrical tape to touch each yellow LED on the circuit.
- When the lamp lights up, you’ve found the faulty LED!
- Mark it with a pen so you don’t lose track.
Remove the Burnt-Out LED
- Unplug the lamp before proceeding!
- Use a sharp tool to scrape off the faulty LED, leaving only the metal contacts underneath.
Use a Pencil to Fix the Contact
- Now for the amazing trick—just rub a pencil on the contacts!
- Graphite in the pencil is a conductor, so it restores the connection between the working LEDs.
- Make sure to apply a good amount so it lasts longer.
Reassemble and Test
- Plug the lamp back in and watch the magic happen! Your lamp is working again!
- Snap the acrylic cover back in place, and you’re good to go.
Why This Trick Works:
Graphite conducts electricity and acts as a bridge between the working LEDs.
No need for expensive repairs—a simple pencil does the job!
Extends the life of your LED bulb, saving you money!
Quick and easy fix—no special tools needed!
Note: This is a temporary fix for emergencies. If you rely on this lamp for long-term use, consider replacing the faulty LED or getting a new bulb.
