Drop-in please help

I have this drop-in. Its an XPG R5 5 mode but you will be shocked to hear that I HATE BLINKY MODES! But when I looked at it, it has three bits a bit like the stars you get on other drop-in that can be soldered in a certain way to change the modes.

So can I do this with mine?

Thanks,

Marc.

Why are my pictures not there? :_(

Do you have a link to this one where you bought it? Or at least photos of it? EDIT - I see you're having trouble with the pics.

Yeah, iv’e just spent ages doing the photobucket thing but it has not worked.

Try that Garry. :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Marc.

Another one :slight_smile:

I don’t recognise the board but I’d certainly try bridging those to see what happens.

Just don’t blame me if it lets out the magic blue smoke.

Here ya go:

Just copy the "Direct Link" line from Photobucket and use that here

Thanks Garry, appreciate that. :wink:

Sorry, I can't help on the "stars" for mode change. Probably need to find someone that has the same driver and has experimented.

-Garry

That’s the problem, it’s such a good drop-in (apart from the blinky modes) I don’t want to smoke it.

Marc.

What drop-in is it? Where did you get it?

-Garry

I got it from Dino directum last year. It’s an XPG R5 5 mode, pulls just a tad over 1A and has a really nice tint. But that’s all I can tell you, Garry.

Those aren’t stars those are “leads” to the top side board. That’s a 2 piece board.

Yeah, I know they are not stars, I just didn’t know how to explain them. It’s just with the last one being connected I thought they might work in a similar way.

Marc.

Don’t try to short any of those contacts or you’ll ruin the driver. Those are “leads” as stated above one of which is positive one negative an one most likely PWM. You could swap the driver for any other driver that will fit and have modes you want.

I might just live with it. It has last mode memory, so it’s not all bad.

Marc.

send me the drop in I’ll shove a 2a nanjg in there or if you wish to wait a bit, I’ll be getting some of the new intloutdoor moonlight drivers, I can remove a 7135 and fit that. xp-g’s love some proper current J) 0:)

Haha, sounds a little painful for the poor little thing. :open_mouth: What is a moonlight driver by the way?

I would remove 2 chips to keep the current sane and use group 4 note the low mode. :bigsmile:

this could be the most awesome nanjg yet short of a dr jones programmed nanjg.

Looks good, but I have to be honest I don’t understand why people want very a low mode.
