Ionmax ION390 Air Purifier

[LeWidget]

Hi guys,

Trying to fix out Air purifier (IONMAX ION 390), it seems the LED backlight has broke, the legs connecting into the backlight module have broken away. I'm not sure how they connect in there, or its official name, does anyone happen to know what these are called and whether they are a universally used part? Contacting the manufacturer is no help, they only sell replacement UV lights and filters, plus the device has been Discontinued.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

My guess is the bits are the internals of Light Emitting Diode - LED.  Here is is a pix from the web.

Awesome, thanks Vance :), makes sense. Any idea what the LED backlight panel is actually called? I can't seem to find the same design when I Google. I could 'try' to replace the LEDs but not too sure how it would have been installed into the acrylic piece, or the stle LED used, or the voltage...

Thanks again

I managed to take a close up of where the LEDs install into the acrylic piece. Visually it seems it can take a small domed LED, though what's in there now, isn't a domed one. Seems to go into the hole but have a flat head. The top of the dome is vacant space. I'm not too sure what I'm looking at in the picture. Zoomed in looks like two gold wire pieces, but could just be cracks.

What style LED would have flat tip rather than dome? Any reason manufacturers use this style in these backlights?

Usually it is all design choices - how much light, color of light, power supply spec and cost.
