Hey so I got the blue ice JAD kit from yobresal, and an m140 diode from dtr. I wasn't able to make this diode more than flush with the Heatsink. I connected to driver leads to the correct pins of the diode. (Red wire is positive right?)
Here is what it looks like after trying to press the diode in all the way.
This is the bare diode before I attempted to press it in.
I put the battery in + facing out. Turned it on and nothing. I tried the batteries the other way and nothing came out either.
I'm using RCR123a 3.2v rechargeable li-ions to power the buck driver set at 1.2A
Did I brake the diode while trying to press it in? Or did I so something else wrong?
