Well, I finally desoldered the red LED and green LED from he dead P4PE and I had a blue LED powered by a 5 volt power connector. My goal was to run the three if them on the 5 volt connector.

Now, the LEDs does seem to work, but something is weird. The red LED is like red-orange and the green LED is literally orange. When I power it off, the LED goes green before going off.

Am I frying them or is this normal?
 
I suspect whatevever new voltage source you are using has changed the color as both colors are similar. To me that suggests they are getting similar voltage. What the heck do I know? Let's see what others have to say.
 
Maybe the 3.5 volt is what the board used. It could need resistor, but when I fried an LED, The light was dim and just burned. This one is just orange.
