Thank you Sam. That is a HUGE help. I knew it could be done.

After reading your post, i then went on ebay, and there are hundreds of
auctions for resistors. Any idea how I would know what type I am looking
for? (I have 500 of these flashing sticks that i'd like to work on.

Also, once I get the proper part, is it a simple matter of touching both
ends of the resistor to the lines on the circuit board until I achieve
the desired effect, and then solder it on?



What exactly is the desired effect? Sam's reply was somewhat of a joke, yeah
you can use a resistor to bypass the controller and make the LED's glow
continuously but they won't blink.

If you hold the button down will it do what you want? If so you could bypass
the button with a piece of wire, if it cycles once and then stops there's
really nothing you can do, all the circuitry is potted in the little blob
and there's no way to modify it.
