Repairing LEDs in A3000

[Matt_H]

Continuing with my A3000 restoration project, I'm going to attempt this today. It looks like a simple resoldering job. Anyone done this before?

Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll report back once I'm finished (hopefully successfully). :-)

@ all

Well, resoldering failed. There's more to these little boards than there seems. :-(

I also discovered that the PCB is cracked. Don't know if that's contributing to the problem, but the break doesn't seem to be along any copper traces, though.

Now THAT sounds like a good idea! I will definitely look into this!
