Thanks joker, hopefully it will live a fairly long life, as long as I don't over extend the duty cycles. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Hey wannaburnstuff, all the pics were taken with my phone camera, it's a HTC Rezound with 8 megapixels that I purchased from Verizon almost 2 years ago.
I want to get a new phone, but I'm afraid that it might not take decent pics!
Thanks jander, I applied the copper heatsinks to the chips by holding them with very light pressure alligator clips; the little copper plated one's from radioshack.
I made the copper discs from some sheet copper, using a shim punch.
They are about 1/8" (3mm) in diameter, just about perfect!
