Unless I missed someone, I count 10 people to date who have posted about switch problems. They are….
Anyone else having any type GT Mini switch problems besides the people I mentioned above??
It’s threaded?? I thought it was a ‘press fit’.
I got mine from Neal and although the switch works fine, the green LED functions intermittently.

… I added you to the list. :+1:
Do you mean it flickers when it should be steady? Like it’s connections are bad?
Keep in mind that it’s controlled by the MCU, so it does turn on and off under certain circumstances.
So sorry! I was thinking about the Sofirn 21700 C8… which IS threaded!
The BLF GT mini has a pressed in switch retaining ring. Again, sorry about that!
What are those certain circumstances??
When the light is turned off the green locator light should remain lit shouldn’t it??
No problem, I was just confused. 
… 
You’ve forgot more than I know… your entitled to a minor ‘slip up’ now & then. 
…
Not necessarily. You can ramp it up or down and then turn it off while it’s flashing the 1 or 2 blinks and it will turn the side switch off temporarily.
Some people have thought the switch light is supposed to be on all the time regardless of the main light being on or off. I was just making sure illuminos knew that it doesn’t stay on all the time. I’m wondering if his side light turns on or off or flickers by itself without him touching the switch.
Ok…. but it should stay on when the light is off & the ‘special circumstances’ you mentioned or ‘voodoo’ have not been activated or employed… correct?? .
And if anyone thought it stayed lit whether the light was on or off…… :person_facepalming:
Yes. You can also turn the switch light off in the menu. Someone even said their switch light suddenly started staying off and thought it broke, but a factory reset turned it back on. That was an odd case. I’m just waiting to hear what illuminos is doing.
Some people don’t know. This was common when the Q8 came out. It still surprises some people who have never seen a video of a Q8 or GT or GT Mini.
I rig up my Narsil lights to keep the side switch lights on all the time. I hope I’m not confusing anybody who watches my videos.
Yea, it either flickers or is completely off when it should be on.
That’s how mine started, it would either flicker, dim & fade out, and/or be off when it should be on.
Then the switch itself stopped responding at times, much of the time; when clicked.

/\ …. Thanks X3, list updated. :+1:
I’m still waiting for mine to arrive. Bought it from BG. Let’s hope it doesn’t have any problems…
Sounds like a driver related problem. You should see about a replacement if this is not acceptable to you.
Seeing as they are probably up to 500 plus units sold, only 10-15 seem to have issues. Overall that’s not too bad a ratio. Like 3%.
When my mother had knee replacement surgery—They assured her only 1 in 100000 had infection problems—very low percentage—Low and Behold hers got a bone infection—It really SUCKS when you are that percentile—— :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:
Darn… hope she recovered OK. And your right…… it does suck when “you” are the percentile.
Saw the Tigers pull out another one…. good luck this coming week.
Hopefully we will keep the ‘big head’ at bay & continue the course to #18.
Yeah, I know…
……. It is waaayyyy to early to mention that, but I just couldn’t resist.
I have a feeling Monday & Tuesday were long hard “days of learning” spent on Thomas Field, for several players in Tuscaloosa this week. .
