I have a leadlight that is a bunch of pieces of metal at the moment... I think my diode died due to it overheating because of the mods I did to it. but also the screw part of the POT is bent slightly and I think that possibly the cause to it not working is because the pot is stuck in a position to where it isn't allowing current to the diode. What I would like is a way that I can "bypass" the POT to see if it will work then. Does anyone know how to do this?
