I was testing the voltage between the LED- & GNd and maybe I connected to wires sticking out and bam no light. I get a tiny bit of super small light when the pots turned all the way up thats it. Was wondering if theres a way to test the board to see if its a confirmed kill or fixable? Please help my blundering foray into the wilderness of the FATMAN!!!!

Time to go talk to George at Taskled.com

Like daBear said send George a message or email. George will probably be able to fix this for a very reasonable rate (more than likely it will be less than half the cost of a new fatman).
Good luck,

So I put my meter on volt and measured it and it didnt short , I think I shorted it by hitting another wire with my probe!
