LED Mod

Post by Derived Class »

I tried the LED Mod, and I cant seem to get it working right.

My soddering joints appear to be ok. I tested the LED with a multimeter while soddered to the board, and it lights fine, so its not blown out.

I'm no EE, but i notice something weird when I placed the controller board back in - when I touch the clipped legs of the LED along the bottom of the DC housing, the LED lights up! But once I seat it where its meant to go, it goes out.

Perhaps I clipped the legs too short? Any troubleshooting ideas?
