The SPDIF LED on the IO board I bought seems to be larger than 5mm.
In fact, it is in the way of the plug attachment.
I would like to change the LED to a 3mm one, but I don't have the knowledge. Can I use any red LED?
Do you have any suggestions on what I should buy?
Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Replacing the SPDIF LED
From the bill of materials here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... mbly-(DIY):
LED Red (small) ~650nm:
The one suggested there has these specs:
Wavelength/Colour Temperature: 648 nm
Luminous Intensity: 131.5 mcd
Viewing Angle: 16 deg
If - Forward Current: 20 mA
Vf - Forward Voltage: 1.8 V
Power Rating: 100 mW
Length: 3.2 mm
Width: 3.2 mm
Height: 4.5 mm
LED Size: T-1 (3 mm)
I think a lot of red LEDs will be close to those specs.

Re: Replacing the SPDIF LED
if it is just blocking stuff from fully seating in the audio jack, you should be able to gently bend it further back.
