embarassingly, having sold a bike complete with "good condition" solo sl light, the buyer has come back saying its not working and he suspects the cable coming out of the back is loose.
Given that I knew the cable was loose (although the light still worked) I kinda feel obliged to help fix it. Is it easy enough to pull the bulb holder out the front of the case and check the connections that way?
just had the reflector and bulb out of my solo logic mv for a look, and the pcb is secured with a 'stub' of plastic inside the body which seems to have been melted over a bit of the pcb in order to secure it. I suppose the trick would be undoing it (with a hot solder iron i'd have thought) without damaging the pcb or putting a hole in the lamp body with overenthusiastic application of heat. And then putting it all back again afterwards.
I can solder pretty well, (even managerd to fix my rather rubbish no-at-all-waterproof knog light 8) ) but I am not sure I would be able to do something that fiddly and difficult to access without reasonable risk of knackering it.

It does, cheers. I'm not the most delicate-of-fist unfortunately so it doesn't sound like a job for me...
I would suggest emailing Troutie as he has repaired/converted many types of lights.
Hes on holiday at the minute but you could still email him and get his opinion.
As it it you havent really lost out asking him.
