\"Crack\" behind 5W die, should I be worried?
Ok, I got a colored (not white) 5W emiter. I haven't installed it yet. Just for grins I pulled out my 30x pocket microscope and was looking at it it. Then I noticed behind the grill looking LED dies, in the shiny part behind them there was a dark squigly line. It goes behind 2 of the dies (half of the emiter).
I can't tell if it's a crack or a microscopic hair...
Anyone seen one of these before.. I sure hope it doesn't fail after I mod it. With all the money & trouble I went through for this I will be extremely mad!!
Is it a go or no-go? Or a We don't know?
Any case I guess I will find out. What are everyone's experiences? I sure hope someone doesn't say "yep it's a dud" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mecry.gif
