It is extremely unlikely (in the human terms - not possible) that LED would break in such a way that it transmits the power and not emit light at the same time.

It is extremely unlikely (in the human terms - not possible) that LED would break in such a way that it transmits the power and not emit light at the same time.
Of course the LED can be installed in a parallel connection on the circuit, but I read the op statement as it is not the case.
- edeion 6y ago"Let's devise a way to purposefully burn the LED in such a way that current can go through." We have to keep in mind that not everything has to be by accident :) I have no idea how likely it is to be possible, though, you've got a point.
- dgoldstein0 6y agoI would bet on the LED being parallel - otherwise sending more current through it will burn more power, generate more heat, and likely cause it to wear faster. I think the point though is that it's not software controlled in any way: powering on the camera lights up the LED, and there's no way to bypass that with only software. Or at least that's the claim.
- gugagore 6y agoWhy did you read that it's not the case? I read the opposite. That if the LED broke, you'd notice it because your camera would be on and the light would be off. Not that the camera never turns on.
