Hi all, need some advice here on how to fix my Tank, I guess not so tank anymore. It's my edc and it just wouldn't switch on properly. I've cleaned it with isoprop and lube all its threads. Put in a new cell and it just wouldn't turn on. It would only turn on when I unloose the head little by little and either by pulling its head out or pushing it in. Tried every other possible way I could think of. Any thoughts?
Did it used to work fine and then just started acting this way?
Yeah. It was working fine till 2 days ago. :(
Its usually a bent spring. The one attached to the driver. Often happens with 703's, especially if ever you use the longer Protected 10440's. The whole light separates into three parts - Head, Body Tube and Switch. Its often hard to unscrew the head end but it will undo. Once apart just gently bend the spring back to a more central position. That will almost certainly fix it.
Yes it worked now. Awesome. Thanks for that. :)
I have the same problem here. The flashlight lights some time, but not every time.
I didn’t manage to unscrew the head from the flashlight.
Do you know where I should unscrew ?
This is a great flashlight, and I hope to be able to fix it.
Thanks,
Tom
The join is just to the lens-side of the TK-703 mark in yout pic.
Welcome to the monkey house, vort!
Aloha and welcome to BLF vort!
Thanks for the greetings.
@VFMaddict: I will try to unmount that thing. I didn’t notice at all that I can be opened there ! I will buy a pair of muscles before
Thanks all, unscrewing the TK703 was ok.
I had to reduce the spring length (pushing hard on it using a battery), and then the light is ok now !
Before that I tried to lenghten the spring but it was not working.
Again, thx !
