Has Rayfoss gone down hill since the Qualifound buyout?

It's probably just because it doesn't make a very good contact I bet it works fine once you get a new tailcap.

OK. You have successfully verified that it is broken/blown/shitty, or whatever.
If you want to spend +$20 to ship it back to Rayfoss for an exchange, go ahead. You could always attempt to replace the diode, but I know those modules are extremely difficult to extract from the host and you may damage the driver board.
Bummer. :yabbem:

I dont know what is wrong with it, seems to be the diode not the driver.

Anyhow i can say with certainty that i dont have the skills nor the tools to extract the diode.

I dont even have another red diode laying round :(

Oh well, i can just spend the 20$ and hope for the best.

Yes, exactly! That thought has occured to me as well. Someone with an LPM should buy one while pretending to be a total noob and askin irrelavent stupid questions, and not mention LPF. Then test it when it arrives. That should help shed some light on the matter. But IMO from all the fail threads popping up, it seems they are going downhill fast.

oopss.... i was communicating fine with her until i mentioned both LPF and LPM.... then she refused to answer anymore emails... (my bad :p)
