Since it’s your first post, some information. LED’s use current for brightness and run time. Unless specified extra voltage does nothing for either. Exceed it and the driver will fry quickly.
I agree with Mortuus, pricewise that would be even more attractive (and easier)
The S2+ isn’t very expensive, a new driver and MCPCB plus LED would cost you probably around 12$
I've already ordered another one, but I would still like to save the one I have... or at least do something with the host. I don't even own a soldering iron. lol Any drop in suggestions?
If you’re not interested in soldering, you probably have no chance of fixing it. I recommend that you get yourself a soldering iron and learn how to solder, and fix it. But, if that doesn’t appeal to you, the other option is that you could sell it for a much reduced price to somebody here who will be glad to fix it and maybe even upgrade it, while you buy yourself something else.
I have one of these: Yihua 936B soldering station which I bought years ago, and it has been great. I was never able to solder electronics successfully with the cheaper soldering irons that are available. This soldering station is compatible with Hakko brand tips, which are very high quality. But it comes with a nice chisel tip already. I’ve been using mine with no problems for years already.
If you want to salvage it, I have a pill for the S2+, it has a SST-20 4000K emitter and a 8 chip Biscotti driver. No soldering required. Unscrew old one, screw in new one. Tweezers will be successful at that I betcha. Shoot me your address via PM and I can mail it away if you are interested.
Edit: I take that back, it has a Luxeon V2 at 5000K with the above mentioned driver. Sorry I was thinking of another light.
