What might be a good strategy to remove the stock XP-G LED on the DQG Ti AAA driver? I want to install a 219b. Please see this album:
I’m debating options:
- hot air from the LED side, but not sure how to keep the components on the bottom of the board from falling off… I do have some Kapton like tape, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W3FAFP0/ but it has almost no adhesive and does not stay in place.
Im wondering if “real” Kapton tape would stick better? Ive never tried it.
- Im debating using a soldering iron to heat the positive contact disc on the bottom of the driver, below the LED… same concerns about components falling off. I expect the positive contact disc would be the first thing to get desoldered.
brainstorming and suggestions welcome…

How many components are on the bottom? If it’s just a few I’d go with the hot air and solder anything that falls off back on afterwards
Edit: I just saw the album lol. I say take good photos and go to town with the hot air. It wouldn’t take long even if you had to solder all those bottom side components back on

Thanks! I needed that little push of encouragement… really appreciate your input… Will post results after I take the leap.
