I'm pretty new to doing my own electronics and still learning, but wanting to put my so far limited knowledge to work I decided on a little project.
I have this little phaux LED votive candle I'm curious about. It's a little yellow LED that flickers like a flame and looks pretty realistic. Knowing it had to be pretty simple I opened it up (Busting it in the process) and it is ridiculously simple.
However, there is something buried under this black daub of epoxy...I have no idea if there is a way to get this off to see whats under it...was going to put a hot air tip to it and see if it will melt but that wont be here until Monday..
Anyone have any idea what this could be? I'm going to hazard a guess at some SMD or tiny IC. See picture. It's about the size of an old 50cent coin.
