Hello, i’ve been trying to remove the pill from olight i1 it has been three days but its not working. Can anyone please give me a way to get to the emitter, i want to put a xpg2 or a xpe2.
I have once changed the led in an i3 and it was very hard.
After a hour with heating and bending tweezers the driver comes loose, so I could rip it out. After that I used a drill In a press which was slightly bigger than the pill, I drilled it in half a circle and after this i unscrewed it(drill with pill) by hand. Voilá
The pill has thread lock on it so heating seems to be a good idea.
Very hard and not nice, that is why my second i3 is still unused in the original blister…I have no ambition to make this torture again.
thank you guys, i think i will try the lighter fluid.
