I have a KL1 that has no loctite on it and it is easy to get open. Who would I go to to have a white, real white maybe even HD if that is even possible put into it? What are my options including leaving it as it is if that would be the best. thanks for the forum. Doug /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

hi Dtsoll
I have opened my KL1 head and failed to do any meaningful addition. In fact, I am completely failed
I remove the head, but it was the wrong part of the head. Becuse of that, the wires was removed from the circuit /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif. And right now, I am asking anyone who had done the mod to help me here.

So Dtsoll, i would say, make sure you open the upper part of the head.

shiftd,

just remove the upper bezel part only, you can then easily desolder the emitter and put a new one in - no need for further disassenbly.

Thanks Klaus. The problem is, the wires were removed, there is no way for me to tell which lead should go to which place. I talked to CM to ask for his assistance and he did offer me some help. But I think I will let other (him) do the rest of the work for me as I got no skill nor experience for this kind of work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
