What might be a good strategy to remove the XP-G LED on the DQG Ti AAA driver. I want to install a 219b… Please see this album for a few pics:

[Album] DQG Ti aaa, Olight i3s

I’m debating options:

  1. hot air from the LED side, but not sure how to keep the components on the bottom of the board from falling off… I do have some Kapton like tape, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W3FAFP0/ but it has almost no adhesive and does not stay in place.

Im wondering if “real” Kapton tape would stick better? Ive never tried it.

  1. use a soldering iron to heat the positive contact disc on the bottom of the driver, below the LED… same concerns about components falling off.

brainstorming and suggestions welcome…
