Managed to remove the very obviously broken LED and just bridged the pads. Should probably be good for a while. It lights up again for now, at least.
(Replacing the LED with a new one would of course...
@nprofile1q... You're probably better off replacing the broken LED with another random diode if you have no LED to fit there, rather than just bridging the pads.
There's normally a voltage drop over the LED that you are now missing, meaning all the other ones are seeing a higher voltage than usual, and drawing more power, decreasing their longevity.
