Heat bed indicator LED broken, Specs?

Hi,
the red blinki LED on the heat bed isn't working anymore. Since the heat bed is working normally I assume it's broken. I'd like to replace it, but I need to know the type of LED to buy. Or can I use any SMD-LED that has the correct size?

Did you perchance disconnect and reconnect your bed before it stopped working? If so, check the polarity of your bed connection as a possible cause.

If you' have a voltmeter it's also easy to check if LED is still working.
In general you could use any SMD led. The size should be 3014, maybe someone can confirm.

mine was broken too,

i just solderd a (blue) led on it and it workes just fine.
there is a resistor on it, so pretty much any led for about 3V will work.
