10. When they are all out, find your LEDs and place them in the sockets, centering the LED strip and getting them as close to straight up and down as you can.
You can now turn the receiver on to verify everything works and the light is even, sliding the tuner dial back in to double check. Everything looks good on mine!
11. Re-assembly is the reverse, I actually took the above pictures in reverse, simply re-install the pieces one by one until you’re up and running. Take care to clean all the pieces and not get finger grease or dirt on anything as it goes back together.
And here’s the 727 on top of the 828 I did first. The 10 LEDs in the $7 pack were perfect to replace the 5 bulbs in each receiver. And YES the dimming function of the 828 still works!
I hope this proves useful to those SX-x2x owners out there who are looking for a cheap and easy way to improve the backlighting with reasonably priced and easily available LEDs.
Cheers,
