i was doing a pot mod and got to happy and starting twisting like 4 times i think i have twisted it to much for it to even have the pointer work again any way i can make it work again ?

Bypass the pot altogether by soldering across its leads, or add a resistor there instead. 'd go with a resistor as the soldering alone might overdrive the diode a bit to much.

that's weird. I didn't think there was a limit to the pot.
my one just keeps going around in circles, doesn't matter which way you turn it.

if you turn it counter-clockwise, it will get brighter and brighter until it goes off, then it will start off dim again and get brighter as you turn it, and just goes around in a loop.

but then again, the pots are so small, they could develop faults pretty easily
