stryd_one Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Just think of the cut resistors needed to do that... the poor things :( *sniffle* Oh, the humanity! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frailn Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogah Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
