But is this Cree Q5 upgrade hard to do? I don't really have electronics experience, my knowledge in soldering comes from jewelry making
it would be nice to try, at least.
I was worried about that too, my soldering experience comes from soldering guitar patch cables. Just remember which wire is positive and which is negative, desolder, and resolder (make sure not to leave the iron on the board too long or I think you could burn it). The chassis is a little tricky to get open because it's glued and you have to break the glue.
