Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Light Emitting Diode
- Using a plastic opening tool, remove the base of the Light Angel.
- Insert the plastic opening tool between the base and the LED housing and pull outwards on the handle.

Step 2
- Using a Phillips head jeweler’s screwdriver, remove the screw on the battery housing.
- To remove the screw, turn counterclockwise.
- Remember to put all the screws you take out somewhere safe so you can find them when it’s time to reassemble the light.

Step 6
- Locate the faulty light emitting diode on the back of the circuit board.
- Using a soldering iron and desoldering braid, unsolder the connection on the light emitting diode.
- Do not allow the soldering iron to come in contact with other components on the circuit board.
- For detailed instructions on how to solder go to How To Solder and Desolder Connections
