Cool, looks like a pretty easy fix. Thanks for sharing, havent looked at that site in a few years - think there is a link in the Wiki.

that's pretty cool. you could alternatively buy a new key with a working light instead if you prefer, they are still available i think, i got mine just over 1 year ago.
