Screaming_Rabbit Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 ... i wonder whether the heat could damage the LED.No, it will do no harm to the LEDGreets, Roger Quote
stryd_one Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Just think of the cut resistors needed to do that... the poor things :( *sniffle* Oh, the humanity! :D Quote
frailn Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Would it be hard to replace an LED using this method? Has anyone ever had LED's go "bad" on them? Quote
nILS Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 LEDs do go bad on a regular basis. Regular being every 10 or so years. And yes, replacing them is doable. The hot glue never gets really hard and you can always just heat it up and it'll get soft again anyways. Quote
rosch Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 :) OK thanks for the info! good to know! Quote
moogah Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I'm pretty sure and exacto knife and soldering iron are the only 2 tools needed to replace a glued-in LED. Quote
