Hey guys,
I decided to mod my Spark ST5-150cw and unscrewed the pill. Except that it doesn't uncrew!:thumbsdow
There are three leads: 2 on the switch (one with no wire) and one red one for the positive. The problem is there is no wire on the board. One of the spots where a wire came loose (I think) goes directly to an IC marked 02KV. I think that SHOULD be the +. There's another that goes to a capacitor. Then, there is a third that connects the the GND and the outside of the pill. My thought is that the switch connects the ground to the capacitor. Does this sound right to you EE guys?
Also, how do you get a switch like this out? It looks just like the ring that holds the Zebralight lens.
Thanks,
Kevin the Dumb
