I'll leave the wires, and LEDs in place so that you use them if you get another board that will line up correctly with all the buttons as they were originally intended. I'm not going to superglue all the parts in the door, so that you can remove the guts in case they ever need replaced. As far as the LEDs, whoever you got this board from should've made damn sure that these LEDs would line up perfectly with this sticker set. The sad thing is, the one on the front works perfectly, and all the LEDs line up on it.
The other two areas are where the stickers go, and don't line up where they should. This would work if you were able to remove them from the PC board, and place them where they need to be, but there aren't enough to light up all the areas needed, even if you could. The hot glue will come off without damaging the boards if you want to remove them, you'll just have to be very careful in doing this.
I'm sorry this didn't work out for you, Roy. I'll complete the tricorder as promised, so that this will come to you as a finished piece - it just won't have the correct PC boards with the properly spaced LEDs. This way, if you need to get another PC board set later everything else will be already done. The only thing you'd have to worry about would be proper placement of the PC boards should you choose to replace these with the proper ones at a later time.
