Here I remove the Blu-ray diode from the GGW-H20L sled, the so-called "6x". Here I show removal from the sled, removal of ribbon cable and removal from the small heatsink.

Tools I used:
- Fine-tipped curved tweezers
- Flux pen
- Small scissors
- #0 or #00 sized phillips head (cross) screwdriver
- Small flathead screwdriver
- Soldering iron
- Solder
- Small locking pliers
- Micro-flush wire cutters
- Metal pointed probe

  • Is it ok to use the Rkcstr's Microdrive for this diode?

  • Sure, you can use my driver for these diodes :)

  • awesome tutorial! I'll defiantly be using it when I build my Pocket Mini. Currently I only own a PHR.

    Do you know if there's also a guide on youtube showing the removal of the red diode in this sled?

  • Removal of the red is pretty similar to the violet. It looks a little different and doesn't have the "cube" on the front, but getting it out of the small heatsink can be done in the same way.

  • jesus, all the time i was thinking to myself : that shit is gonna break. xD i prefer filing the heatsink down, even if it takes forever.

    btw sick song, is it by carl cox?

  • @kaestar5 Thanks, that helps somewhat. I'd still prefer a video tutorial though.

  • @JaiNobesIsARat rub a little on the diode pins

    tin your iron

    tin your wires

    set next to pin of diode and touch the WIRE with your iron

  • @kaestar5 So it's that easy?

    Well then i'll pour a jar of flux over my diode and then use a million Watt soldering iron and hit it repeatedly. Break my solder into little tiny bits and then blindfold myself and violently hit the diode with the iron.

    So, i refer you to my original statement "Can you make a video on how to solder diodes safely?" because the statement "use flux" does not do the job as well as a video.

  • @JaiNobesIsARat use flux :/

  • Can you make a video on how to solder diodes safely?

  • that song is absolutly SICK

  • I think I busted up my Blu-Ray diode :-/

    I wana get another diode soon so I can use your driver for Evil so My question is whats the highest mw's that your driver can support? It is the one you hade on Ebay 4 months ago. Thank you for any help.

  • goof job thanks for sharing.

    God bless.

  • the precious diode!
