If you try to "resolder" the Luxeon, make sure the +ve solder point is very flat and not touching the reflector. Otherwise, it will short circuit and kill the regulator. Please don't ask me why I have to resolder the Luxeon, I am still crying.

MrBulks paper did say that everything has been precisely done =\.

 

[desmondpun]

Clearly, I've proofed his point.

Cheer up Des,
I know how you feel, I can never leave well enough alone either... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[MR Bulk]

Cut off!

(Desi your e-mail is down, but I've sent another message to your alternate addy -- did you get it?).

 

[MR Bulk]

And in case you do not get the e-mail message, I'll say it here: we can save your McModule (especially that rare and lovely W3 emitter), but you'll have to send it back...

 

[Icebreak]

This is how I thought this would go.

When you are a Mr. Bulk alumna or alumnus you have attained some valuable parchment.

Warrantee? Naw, he doan need no more stinkin' warrantees.

 

[MR Bulk]

Icebreak thanks, but little does Desi know that for being so honest (resoldered it himself) we will have to charge him for the work (mainly removing the fried board and installing a new one, without harming the W3V)...

 

[desmondpun]

Thanks Mr. Bulk. I have received your email. The W3V is unharmed and healthy. Great to hear that you are willing to save my little baby. Charge me, penalize me, torture me, I deserve it.

I promise, I will never do it again.

 

[Icebreak]

I don't think that is playing fair. *sniff*

What a sweet child!

She is my daughter Melanie:

***Sorry, off topic, won't do it again!***

She's cuter in the second picture. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

desmondpun -

Off topic? Well it is your thread.

Melanie just makes my face smile.

CUUUTEEEEEE.
Dude, you got an angel there /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Would there be a problem if you just coat the bottom of the reflector to prevent it from conducting?

 

[McGizmo]

The counterbore on the face of the module is deep enough that the shoulder of the module *should* keep the rear of the reflector from contacting the solder connections on the LED. Nail polish or a liquid electrical tape can also be applied to the solder connections if there is a concern for shorting out the leads. The new DownBoy converters are instantly killed if the LED leads are shorted to ground.
