I soldered the diode to rckstr driver and as i screwed the bottom of the aixiz housing on the driver spun with it and broke all three pins off there are no soldering points left... it really messed up my day but you guys know how that is!!!!!

im pretty sure i can fix it. my phr pins broke off a few times and i was able to solder them together strong enough so they would stay on. but it does depend a lot on how far the pins broke down.

how do you solder the pins back and then solder the diode to driver?:thinking:
if you touch the solder iron agian the solder will melt so the pins will be off the diode.
EDIT:i had the same problem with phr but i solder wire directly from the diode to the driver not pin to diode to driver and it was working.if you meant this sorry.

haha ya thats wat i meant. i actually tried both concepts tho.
like, iv done just the pins, and then added the driver very quickly.
but i guess its because i had help from my brother who held the pin
in the hole so it would melt and slip away.

Man Diesel! I thought you were going to send it to Dave to get er' done...:undecided:
I know a little trick for this after failers such as this.

so a lot of us having experience with this. so you can pick any of us to fix it
good luck

it is easy to fix this but i don't think there will be much members to try this by risking to kill the diode,so pick a good builder,i recomend daquin to test it also.

ya i recommend daguin also. mostly, since i dont have an LPM.
or maybe one of us could fix it, and then send it to daguin cuz
we dont know if he can even fix it. if he can, send it to him. if not
send it to one of us, well fix it, and then send it to daguin.

There are a couple of techniques by which to get this done. They don't always work and it may require that the diode NOT be directly soldered to a driver after it is done.
You will probably need some distance (and a wire heat sink) between the repaired diode and the solder joint to the driver to get it assembled.
I am willing to do this, with the caveat that it doesn't always work. Sometimes the "stub" is down inside the insulation. Sometimes the pin got pulled or twisted (and the wire to the die broken) when the pins got twisted off.
I just repaired a laser that got twisted off for a man in the UK and I just coached another member on doing this.
Peace,
dave

okey dokey then, i guess that tells us that daguin can fix it, and he can test it!

Ok i got some good news and some bad news today i picked up three more lg bh08 burners lol because i had a little time on my hands and decided to build my 8x !!!!well as some of you already know i broke off the pins on the first diode so i went to the second one big mistake lol i burnt it out adjusting the pot on the rckstr driver damn i was so pissed i spend $1000 on lg bh08 burners
this week alone thats f*#king crazy if you ask me

Maybe you should have a more experienced builder do your 8x build, With such an $$$$ diode. But i do have to commend you on trying over and over again!

Lesson learned -- ALWAYS set the current with a test/dummy load. The pots are sensitive and sometimes "jump" in current significantly with just a minor turn.
BTW -- Love your sig.
