Oh well, please share my pain. I killed 2 445's in 2 days :cryyy:
First one died after hooking it up on the flexdrive. Until then, i didn't know the flexdrive needs a discharge too Smoke was emmited from it when I powered it with a 18650. Today the second 445 died. I was trying to assemble everything in a c6 aurora host and i manage to twist the diode pins. The negative pin broke and is now rotating. Fortunately, the 445 build for my friend was finished well, I'm shipping it to him tomorrow. Too bad it had to be 2 445 nm diodes in order for me to learn from my mistakes. The 3 PHR's sitting on my workdesk are laughing at me now. They thank god they were not in 445's place.
