How to remove driver board from the light

[cdtrix]

Hi,

I have a broken Ultrafire C3. The board is toast and i was wondering how i can take out the board and replace it with another one. I tried to de-solder the contacts but it still wont budge.

Any ideas would be grateful.

Well, the solder connections to the emitter and body of the light are the only thing holding the board in, so...

What I do is solder a spring or something to the central positive contact of the board, and pull on it with pliers as I melt the negative joints that hold in the board. That's after removing the emitter joints.
