Help! Repair 200mw driver!!

[JamesOhh]

Whats up guys.. Im doing a pen build and just got the module today and already broke it. Its 200mw 532nm 3.7v-4.2v
I was putting it together when the pen host hit the Button on the driver and knocked it completely off..
Is there a way to fix this?? Or would I have to get a new driver?
Thanks!

Wel, you could pay to ship it to a member and have them repair it for you.

Who would be willing to fix it?? Im up for that. I mean I can solder but the little contacts on the green board came off with the button so I don't know what can be done to fix it.

Oh...uh, can you take some closeup photos of the end of the driver?

 

[JamesOhh]

Ok here you go.. Let me know if you need more pics

Wow...bad news.

fasttech has great modules though!

 

[JamesOhh]

Lol dang! I just spent 70 bucks on that too! :/
Also I tried to use the wires and soldered it to a different host I have and it wouldn't work?! Nothing happened.
Is that cause that button broke off?
So is it useless then just toss it out?
Thanks for your help man

Ok...You could try this:

Get some board etcher and lay down some new contact. Then, you could try reconnecting the switch. I wouldn't hold out any hope though.

That's some delicate work.

Ok cool thanks for the advice. I will try that tomorrow!
Thanks again man

Or de solder the board from the module and use a different driver
