what make is it dude?

Its the Acumen one Chris, i just need the loom for the 10r instead of the R1 and it will work but its just the wrong colour, is that the same as yours? if so just swap the actual unit?

did it take you till 1.28am to do it 

was gonna change mine to red, is it just a change of LED's or is it resistors as well?

nah mate, just left it till late to take a pic so it was nice and dark in the garage

yeah its just the led's that need replacing, they are surface mount LED's so you will need a small needle soldering iron, mine was 15 watt i think so not to heat the board to much

i had to get another set of LED's tho as i found out the hard way that you cant heat them more than 3-4 secs or it just kills the LED's

but i have a multi meter which will test them so once fitted to the board i checked they where ok then rebuilt the clocks and all was fine, all in all it took me about 2.5 hours to do

I've got a Wella temperature controlled 45 watt Job.  I just need to get some new tips for it. Sponge is OK.  Something to do over the winter.

just be careful not to over heat the board with the 45 watt soldering iron

guy in maplin said 15 watt was fine for board soldering
