Driver for hd2010

Is there anywhere that sells pre-assembled HD2010 pill (i.e. with the LED, East-092 driver and the pill)? I’m a newbie and I suspect my driver is damaged. I managed to screw out the pill, but I can’t seem to take out the East-092. Now I don’t know what to do to fix my HD2010. Asked for replacement from Tmart but no reply yet.

Oh! Sorry, I would give TMART a couple of days to get back to you. Give us a description of the problem - maybe we can walk you through something. I have a spare East-092 driver somewhere, I know. I believe that driver is just pressed into place, so you need something pointy and somewhat strong to leverage it out without damaging it. Not sure if you can/could solder, but probably won’t help removing it unless something obvious - loose wire, blown part, etc., but that’s not common. Not sure where you are (USA, etc.), but I would certainly could fix it if I had it in my hands. Did you eliminate the switch yet? You do that by unsrewing the tailcap, leaving the battery in, ground the battery neg. end to the threads on the light body with a jumper wire.

Thanks for the concern, Tom E!
Very sorry to hijack your thread, elnino.

I’m not in USA so it’s not possible to send it over.

I managed to screw this thing out, tested for continuity with multimeter on the two metal wires on the black “CREE XML” plate, and it cannot conduct, so I suspect the driver (which is hidden inside) is damaged, but I’m not very sure.

But I couldn’t take the East-092 driver out. Perhaps I try with a flat-end screwdriver to leverage it out?

However if there’s a already-assembled working pill like this to purchase, it’ll be great!! I just need to unscrew this pill and replace it with a new one. Save the trouble sending it back to Tmart, or waiting for replacement, or any modding trouble (I don’t know how to).
