Folks. This one is a doozy

Hello Folks!

I have the good ole Red Light of Death :)

So I saw a comment on a rather old thread regarding Valve Index base station repair. Specifically one for when the IR emitter goes out.

Now that they are discontinued and second hand sellers want $200+ i am definitely looking to get my hands dirty repairing mine.

Mine is spinning and working fine however the IR diode is no longer illuminating. They mentioned something regarding a tool that they made to focus the beam and some high level info about a 830nm diode.

Does anyone know what diode exactly goes into one of these things? Any tips and tricks for the repair?

Thanks!
