I spent the last few hours shaving away plastic with a dremel and resoldering connections on a small 2AA LED bike light that I modded with a Luxeon I.
So, I was 99% finished (all that was left was to screw the parts back in the case) and wanted to go to the bathroom to test the circuit board with the new LED and lens assembly. With the battery pack and components in my left hand, I stood up from my desk and forgot that I had my headphones on!
My head snapped back and as I fell forward, I reached out for a chair to brace myself. Then contents in my left hand shifted and I swear I saw a little spark as the battery pack terminals slid over the pcb.
*sigh* The board is fried and will no longer light up. Waaaah! Christ, that's what I get from being so excited and careless!
Wellll, looks like I won't be posting my documented how-to tonight.
Go Chargers. OH hey, this is my 100th post!
