Thanks! I've already resoldered all of the joints to the circuit board, but I have not tried resoldering it at the resistor itself - probably have to remove it or some of the nearby components to get in there to solder that. It *looks* OK, but, as we all know, looks can be deceiving. I've tried wiggling and tapping it while it's on, but no change.
Also, I spoke too soon... now the fault seems permanent, fired it up a minute ago and it's dim. The solid fault will hopefully be easier to find. I did go through and check all the diodes on the board, they're good.
This set doesn't have a chromatic switch.
And yeah - that resistor on the output module gets super hot too, and good idea, I should resolder that also.
Do these fail internally (like the conducive part cracking on the substrate)? Or is it just solder joints?
Thanks for the help!
