Taylor Balanced Breakout Box - mute light question

[Mark R]

Just purchased a used Taylor Balanced Breakout Box, which I understand is no longer manufactured. Upon receipt, the box functions very well, but the mute light doesn't work. I put a new 9V battery into the unit, and tested the battery to make sure it had a full charge. It looks like the mute light simply doesn't function, but replacing the light doesn't look like a straightforward fix for the electronically uninformed (like me).

Has anyone who still uses one of these breakout boxes had this problem, and is there an easy fix for it?  I sent an inquiry to Taylor, but I'm doubtful that they'll still support this unit, even for a "simple" repair like this one.

I know very little about this product,  but I've read that you have to have plug in a tuner for the light to function

Yes, plug into the inputs, which includes the tuner. 
Really rare that LEDs fail, so I doubt it did.  But in the weird event it did, replacing an LED is easy, especially in a unit as simple as Taylor's breakout box.

Thanks so much Guitar Cowboy and Edward.  I'll try this by the end of the week and will post an update based on what I find.  I appreciate the guidance -- thank you!!

The other day I borrowed a tuner to plug into the output and presto:  the light works just fine. 

Thank you Guitar Cowboy and Edward -- it's the best fix I could have hoped for.  I really appreciate your help!!
