Beginning |
So sometime it was then so far: after my housing slowly everything has which it needs
at lighting and CO (or also does not need). Next step was my Mouse. I possess a small Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse
(nice device) wich lights up in such a mad red. The housing is nevertheless already blue. What is situated more near as
exchange the red LED against a blue one??
Equivalent in front: the change is no problem for someone with soldering knowledge. That can be done so
simply, so i was finished after ten minutes! Now however enough talking: - come
on freshly to the factory:
The Material |
1x LED blue, 5000mcd, 3,5V, 20-30mA
Desolderingpump (or Desolderingwire)
Letīs start |
First we have to open the Mouse. Turn it upside down and unscrew it.
*desoldering: for the best result heat the soldered connections with yout soldering iron, pull it away fast and suck away the soldering tin with the desolderingpump. Another method would be to likewise heat the place up and then shake short the entire circuit board to get off the tin solder. Who does not work in such a way can also take desolderingwire (if there is none take a clean, fine wire (like musicbox cable)) and thus the solder tacks to remove.
Now we must solve the locking with a small screwdriver and pull the old LED out.
Then clip the new LED with (still) long Wires into the plastic mounting plate and solder on. Now
cut off the wire and assemble the housing. Remember to assemble the Mouse exactly the same like it is apart-built! Possibly must put the soil plastic optics disk (mad word) to it only on the circuit board and
then clip it completely in the housing.
We can put the metal handle on again, exactly the same as the Wheel and the cover. If everything fits und
nothing wedges and snatches we can easily screw the Mouse together again.
Finished!
