yeh, when you check the battery voltage by doing three clicks…sometimes sticky fingers or whatever can make strange things happen…little green light goes byebye :wink:

ask me how i know… :disappointed:

Jason. It does flash , but doesn’t stay on in a standby line it did originally.

Teacher. I think you’re on the right path for me. I saw those instructions, but they begin with “while displaying the firmware number “. I don’t know how to get to that display mode :confused:

16721

Ok. So click followed by press & hold only ramps me up to max. Not landing in battery mode. Which is before firmware mode, which is before reset series.

Battery check is a triple click. Do that and it will blink out the battery voltage over and over.

Give it a few seconds at least, then do a dbl click. Now it will blink out the temperature “in Celsius”.

Give it a few seconds at least, then do a dbl click. Now it will blink out the firmware number “1”.

Now to reset it, you press and hold for 1.2 seconds and you should see it do 4 blinks.

So its: 3x, 2x, 2x, press and hold for 1.2 secs.

My Q8 still works great. My favorite SRK-type light in my collection. :sunglasses: I have not had the time to do any mods yet to it yet though, but plan on adding a blue “glow” light to the switch, & replacing the green with warm white leds for night light use with the current circuitry. Also to add a lanyard.

Thanks Jason & teacher. I’ll tryagain tonight.

My Q8 has been perfect. That being said, I’d like to purchase the plastic switch spanner just in case. Is that possible?

Also search for “tripod” in the thread. There’s a variety of ways to attach to the tripod socket, some of which include belt clip/quick release attachments.

Just wanted to note that I as well had issues with the indicator light under the switch in my Q8. I think I was one of the first to receive it too, taking delivery in October sometime if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, I wanted to share with the thread that I followed the prompt of Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light - #16704 by AlexGT to remove the switch cover and fiddle around with the LEDs and resistor with a soldering iron (while batteries were installed and the light was off) and I was able to revive the LEDs to full brightness. Before this fix, I had not seen the LEDs illuminate in weeks.

Anyway, let me know if anyone has questions!
