Broken pins I've soldered pins back on the diode need great magnification first. You just have to be patient a steady hand and cuss a lot but it can be done. And when your finished soldering and ready to assemble it be careful. Once its together don't mess with it. I myself have a habit of switching diodes from one host to another when i get bored. It makes you better a building.

Re: Second Build, 405nm ~650mW PIC HEAVY... i killed it, literally :'(

UPDATE: got it all fixed up. I sent it to DTR and he fixed it for only the price of a new diode. Super nice of him to do that, so thank you DTR.

Gladys got it fixed up. I'm also guilty of twisting the wires once. Just got the same diode. Bet it burns well.
Good job. Pics did come out nice

Hi, yes i was referring to Vanilla , And try removing the o ring in the bezel then thumb press the heat sink when you screw the bezel back on. I built about 5 or 6 of these no problem. 501B's are cool,compact and dual cell capable. 1-18650 or 2-18350's will fit .Try using the spring that came on the pill it will apply more pressure and have better grounding when you screw the bezel on. Oh and i enjoy being married it keeps me inline and I'm never lonely at night....

I have soldered pins when there is hardly anything left, but afterwards I heat shrink the repair then the other pin then heat shrink both together for strength.

my first M140 build I was showing my buddy my solder jobs and did the ol twisty fun times. I think most of us have been there. Great build thread... Glad you got it fixed
