My Convoy S12 UV light stopped working. I contacted Simon and he sent me a new driver. I had some issues opening the metal ring that holds the driver because I don't have the right tool. Soldering was tricky because of the short wires and I didn't take into account how it should be placed. But it works again. I'm happy.
