LED repair on a Freestyle 8?

Target · 07-01-2010, 10:53 PM

The LED is inop on my new to me FS8.
Is this something that I can replace myself or should I send it to TagSportz?
It is a Pred Lite board.

the LED is built in to the on-off switch. You can but replacements at digikey or mouser (I'd need to research it again). If you have not checked you solder connections, I'd recommend it.

If you can solder, you can either fix it or replace it easily.

Its mouser.

I put in a new battery and it is now working.
The seller stated that it was flaky but could have been a low batt.
I'll see.

I should be able to solder it if needed.Gotta use my military skills for something...
