So after attempting to sand down my vamo v5 and done brilliant on all parts apart from top i decided to try and take the top cap off after asking how to do so. my god it took some doing and just when i thought it was coming i applied a little to much pressure and the top came off as i wanted but snapped one wire (the one that goes to the central pin) right in the middle . and the one that goes to the edge has just pulled away from its solder. i know a few of you are mod makers and im sure somebody would be able to repair this for me ill pay of course for postage etc. if i was to get it all sanded up and polished and sent it out to one of you could somebody please repair it for me. I was so happy with how the bottom two parts looked after i had polished and sanded them i got a little excited and messed up. any help would be apreciated. Thanks Im sure its ronaldo that repairs lets hope he sees this . Thanks IAN

At least the wires came off at the right point and not off the board end of the wire. I dont know how busy ronaldo is, but I`ll do it if you want. I`ve done a few of these. You need a flame to get enough heat into the top cap to melt the solder. Another way to do it is to take the tiny screw out of the top cap that the negative wire is connected to and then screw the topcap onto the screw if that makes sense. (Mine was a V2, not certain they still do it the same way in the V5)

@itsmeianki guess you didn't read the capital letters when I replied to your post! Seems like you did exactly what I did. Still, robby is kindly sorting it for you. My v5 has the screw, but there was enough solder to just clag it back on if I remember correctly. Soldering the wire back to the board was a bit more difficult.

it takes a lot of practice to open a vamo without removing wire
