Hi,my display bulb on my yamaha cdx-750e has blown,does anyone know the voltage-wattage of this bulb?its only a small bulb with a orange rubber holder and a red and white wire,i think this cd player is 10 years old.thanks shane

I think it can't. For what I know, mostly the wattage means the brightness of the bulb, not related with the voltage.
Not very farmilar with the technology of LED bulbs, but find a lot knowledge of LED bulbs on a blog here,hope it can be helpful.
Sounds like excessive current being fed into the lamp circuit or lamp itself; possibly due to a short on one of the voltage rails.
If new lamps (regardless of where they are obtained) are being destroyed at switch-on and they are proven to be the correct wattage and voltage rating for your set, you need to find out why, and the power supply is the ideal place to start investigating and looking for possible causes.
Look for any ruptured or leaky electrolytic capacitors, shorted or open diodes, resistors, IC regulators etc.
Determine (for your own peace of mind) if the power supply and associated circuits are the problem or if it's simply a case of a bad bulb, hence the check.
From experience, bad caps often contribute to the destruction of other components connected to them from increased output voltage, resulting in a chain reaction that eventually destroys more parts, and creates shorts on voltage rails. Not always in every case, but generally it's caps that cause the most trouble, particularly in power supplies and high voltage/high frequency areas (e.g. horizontal).
Don't waste (any more) lamps (for now) if it keeps blowing them. Start with the power supply and progress from there.
G'day. When I'm in trouble with a fork oil quantity spec.I use the oil level method of setting up my forks. The spec. is an oil level of 105mm from the top of the leg with the fork fully compressed(spring removed of course).Works every time. Hope this is helpfull Regards Andrew Porrelli
What has most likely happened is the when the car died it was probably jumped off. Anytime a vehicle is jumped off, especially off a much larger vehicle, a "jump" of voltage is sent throughout the vehicle also known as a surge. The surge travels through the vehicle's electrical system and sometimes blows bulbs, fuses and relays. The back of your radio should have a fuse check it because It's probably blown. If the fuse is good refer to your vehicle manual to locate the fuse panel and find the radio fuse it might be blown. Hope this helps
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Based on your description, possibilities are:
1 of the signal bulb pair has burned out;
bulbs used are smaller or of lower wattage;
LED type indicator lights are used. Replace flasher with electronic version.
Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.
Your transformer must have output greater of the total wattage required of the entire system. Example: Putting lights that draw a total of 250 watts with only a 180 watt transformer will result some lights not working, or dimming and flickering, or intermittent power outtages. I learned this from experience. Always go with a transformer that has more wattage available than what is needed. Also, using the incorrect gauge of wire can cause the same issue. Wire creates resistance. Distance the power must travel through the wire creates more resistance at the end of your run than the beginning.
if you dont mind a lettle customization, just go to radioshack and set your favorite color l.e.d. and wire it in, if you can find a specs diagram for your reciever, you might look up voltage and wattage of the bulb so you can get appropriate resistors for the led, and install that. itll last forever, cost virtually nothing, and its easy to do.
