Hi guys, I looked around the forum and found some pics about someone being able to replace the LED. However, I read somewhere that they had to destroy the LED in order to replace it. I was wondering if there was an alternative?

Should I attempt to use two soldering irons and touch the metal tips of the LED and hope the solder below it would melt or is the thing soldered within the circuit board? I don't want to risk burning up the circuit board and ruining it.
