NOW I know why I wanted to buy another driver..These components are completely tiny !!!....and a real PITA to work on. I removed D1.....under great magnification...the solder iron tip looks lika pointed silver log !!! Wooooo....but...of course it seems as though there are three (3) solder points under D1..... When I look at the schematic....looks like there are two D1's !!!!....and BOTH of these are packed into the very small black, bar shaped, original D1 component ?? Correct ??????....Well...OK...luckly I bought 2 new D1'S....I assume that I follow the schematic to install BOTH diodes where there was just a black bar B4....oh....and the center tab was covered by the component !!!...so....upon initial inspection...it looked as though D1 was ONLY connected to two tabs. Help please !!! I am sorry...perhaps this has all been covered B4....and is somewhere else on the forum ???
Anybody have any experience in what I am doing to recycle this kit...I hope I have not cocked it all up !!!...Under this magnification....my hand is not as steady as I thought....things are shaky...to say the least....Replacing R3 is a NoBrainer....but D1 is more of a challenge !!!
THANX !!! CDBEAM
