Removing driver PCB from Ultrafire C3

[simingx]

Hi all,

I searched the entire forum and couldn't find a way to remove the driver PCB from an Ultrafire C3... has anyone done it? It seems to be a press fit between the aluminum puck and the PCB. Heating it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you post a pic of the board you want to remove?

Here is the link !!!

It is not very easy to remove the driver... What I did was :
- first unsolder the led
- then solder one or two resistor pins on the back of the driver (see two of them soldered on the first pix of the previous link)
- then use a pair of plier to pull as strong as you can on the resistor pins

The driver should "unplug"

Because it was too easy :thumbsup:

And did you see how I finally modded this C3 ? This was much more "tricky", but so easy however --> and still working sooo well
