When I thought I had a chance with a rare item.

Hello, guys. nothing serious here. Just can’t find anywhere to to complain about flashlight but here. lol

2 weeks ago, unintentionally, I found SFT70 on mcpcb sell on Shopee app. The shop is in Indonesia that normally I’ve never seen Indonesian’s shop appear in my app. So I tried order one piece immediatly and waited.

Today it arrived. Yeah, I open the bag with excitement, yess. But excitement turned to dissappointment in seconds. Nah, The LED has a black spot on it’s die. :person_facepalming: I ordered only 1 piece and they still failed to check before sent out?

well, I contacted the shop’s assistant and waiting for their solution.

Always order directly from Simon’s official AliExpress Convoy store.
It’s closed at the moment due to Chinese New Year, so not available for approx 2 weeks

Try to clean it with IPA (not the beer :beer: but alcohol). Use gently with cotton bud. It worked for me. As long as that’s just a surface mark, you have a chance.

I would recommend to clean with IPA while drinking an IPA.

I did it but not working. Seems like it’s under phosphor.

Let it soak in 91% ipa for a few hours. If by chance you have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, that would be good to try.
The phosphor on these are very delicate when it comes to abrasion.

I have 2 of these.
Let me know if you are interested.
