My Light Is Gone !!

[Topcat]

My FLU suddenly lost it's light, and even fresh batteries didn't help...
Well, I opened it and found a red wire dangling inside. It apparently fell
off the light switch, because there is now only 1 red wire connected there...

On the light switch there is also a resistor (..or something ??)
I tried to solder the loose red wire to the resistor, hoping that I would see
the light again.. but it didn't help...

Is my light gone for good ???
I tried searching the forum for some inside-FLU pics i think i saw one time,
but I didn't find them... does anyone have any pictures of the inside of their FLU ??

hey i just opened up my gp for you my flu has 2 red wires for the flu one connects to a place with label T1 (which i have resoldered 4times cause it fell off) and the other goes under the circuit board, hope this helps.

yea, thats what I meant... Take a picture of your actual damageed part

 

[Topcat]

I have no damaged parts :huh: The wire just fell off...

I cannot take a picture of it right now, unfortunately...
will do as soon as i have the chance !

It's a FLU.. you know, the FLU has this little switch on the back
which toggles the light.... on the back of this switch (inside the GP32)
there are 2 red wires connected... well, one of mine fell off...

ok heres wat is on that switch the T1 connection has a red cable which goes to the end of the resistor(closest to middle of gp) and the other red wirte goes from a litle connection about 3millimters away from the other end of the resistor,, i tried taking a picture but my camera dont like close ups
hope this helps

The joints on the wires are ABSOLUTE PANTS.

Minehave broken off at both ends more than once.

 

[DemonStar55]
