I forgot I’d already done a similar video to this. But here’s a new version with all the same pitfalls.
I’m getting better at swapping these LEDs. The trick seems to be to clean all the pads so they are flat and then put a tiny touch of solder on one leg of the LED so it can be quickly “tacked” in place when positioned correctly. (Like a tack weld).
Then press the LED down firmly while soldering the other lead and then go back and resolder the original lead with more solder while still holding the LED down firmly.
In this case I was replacing three white LEDs with two blue and one green to give a deep cyan colour.
