So the Gen 1 is looking pretty good right now. I replaced the red 3W led with a yellow 5W led.
The Gen 2 is alright. The painting is coming along quite nicely, and the joints were reflowed with relative ease. The problem now is with the LED. I disconnected the old one and tried to replace it with a 5W Blue LED. This did not work however, and after a few other failed swapping attempts, I dont know what to do. Is it possible that I fried the circuit in the PCB? Is it fixable, or has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it? The rest of the system works fine, just no light.
Thanks
