I gifted a Sipik sk68 to a friend a couple months ago. It stopped working today, so he brought it over for me to look at. I took out the pill and looked at the driver, finding a small black plastic piece with copper wire wrapped around it had broken off the driver. He doesn't really want to spend any money buying a new driver, and i don't trust my soldering skills on such a small surface mount piece. I didn't take a picture of it while i had it in my possession, but i found a picture of the same driver on the net.
I don't know what it's purpose is, but if i jump with wire, the led works. Can anyone tell me if there will be longevity issues if i just drop a blob of solder on there? Better yet, can someone tell me its specific function?
As i said before, it's the black plastic piece with wire wrapped around it. In this pic, it's right at the end of the yellow handles. Thanks in advance!
