Tried to change the LED's on my 8260 today. What a disaster!
 

Maybe I suck at soldering, but I got three done and 2 didn't work. And I lost one of the damn LEDs So I scrapped the whole thing. It's very hard.

You do realize they can only go in one direction? The Anode must face the most postive
 

supply potential...the Cathode to the most negative supply potential, if you just put them in randomly you have a 50-50 chance of getting it right...do you think this is what you may have done?

Do you own a multimeter? If so I can help you fix this.

If you knew how to put them in...aka you know that they're diodes and must be installed with properly polarity then ignore this.

Hey James, you wanna help me do this on my 5190 ? ;-)

I suppose if you get the parts I can do it for you...but you know I live in Huntington Beach right..
 

it's a good excuse to come out and see my Stage III brakes, I know you've probably seen them on Clarks car...but mine will be better...simply because they're mine :-)

You're in Huntington?! Are you coming to the lunch today? I didn't realize you were around here.

Lunch...where...the thing with Dan and Anand...I guess that'd be Danand :-) I don't know...I kinda
 

doubt it, my parents just called (Thousand Oaks) and said I should get crackin' cause we need to roll to my Grandma's pad for the Christmas Eve festivities...I don't see why they're leaving so darn early...but it's not for me to question I suppose :-)

Merry Christmas,
