Spear's Probe Broke Off
« on: February 21, 2009, 02:59:00 PM »

Well, the Mexican-made device called the SPEAR 1.0's probe fell off, because I stepped on it.

Trust me, I wasn't wearing shoes or anything, and I felt it.

When I went to lift my foot off, the probe came with it, because of the weak solder, and the poorly-made housing compartment.

So, being the electrical engineer I am, I found a cheap and quick solution to the problem.

Instead of using this Aluminum piece of crap, I desoldered whatever was left off the board, and made my own probe out of a nail.

Once soldered on, I could resume Lite-On flashes.
