Procedure
Step 1:
The first thing you should do is identify the problem. Plug the lamp into a power source and check for any signs of life, such as flickering or dim light. Look at the LEDs and look for black spots in the center, which indicates that they are burned out.
Step 2:
Unplug the lamp and open the case with the flat screwdriver. Be careful not to damage any components. Once opened, visually inspect the LEDs and circuitry for visible damage.
Step 3:
Plug the lamp back into power (taking all necessary precautions to avoid electric shock). Use the steel tweezers to gently touch each LED. If you touch an LED and it lights up or changes behavior, it is probably defective.
Step 4:
To repair the faulty LED, use the flat screwdriver to lightly abrade the surface of the LED. Sometimes this can reset the internal LED connection and make it work again. Do it carefully and patiently.
Step 5:
Once you have repaired the LED, disconnect the lamp from the power. Use the electrical tape to secure any loose connections and to insulate the areas you worked on, ensuring there are no shorts.
Step 6:
Reassemble the lamp. Make sure all components are securely connected and the case is secure.
