    Extending a Christmas LED lighting cable.

    Thank you Bertus. But I am after just the simple cable and not an extension lead as I will be cutting off the 2 pin plug and wiring a UK three pin plug. Many thanks though.

    Thanks. I have soldered a few 3.5mm audio jacks for my headphones and they seemed to be okay. I bought a tub of Termo Pasty solder paste from eBay.

    Thank you so much Flippineck for the fine detailed instructions. I am a complete novice to soldering. I have done it only a few times before. As for the battery, I was only using the Duracell as a tester because any charge left from the actual rechargeable battery has been drained. The QX...

    Thank you so much for all your replies of valueable info. The broken component doe have QX 52525. There is one for sale on eBay. So would it be just a case of placing the prongs into the four holes and a touch of solder, please?

    Hello All. A new member looking for help as my daughter's favourite garden ornament is no longer working. We have a solar powered lighthouse (Aldi), but like most cheaper items water will always get in. I have attached some images to show one of the components has broken off from the circuit...
