Maybe they don't daw enough current so the computer thinks they are burned out? Perhaps you could add a resistor in LED array each to simulate a higher current draw.

The first way is to purchase LEDs with built-in resistors from a quality manufacturer. The other way would be to install one of these:

Thanks. Looks like an expensive way to upgrade. Will keep the front end with LED, good enough for me.
