Troubleshooting: Help with unreliable light activation.

Hi all,

I am having an issue with getting my flashlight working reliably. It’s a Elektro-Lumens Firesword-V and I can only get it to work sometimes.

The activating “switch” is more of a butt cap with a spring and a screw in bottom that adds tension or pushes the batteries in the tube closer to the head of the flashlight that has a screw going through the PCB.

I believe the issue is that the screw gets pushed out due to the pressure of the spring, not allowing the light to turn on. Sometimes I can get it to turn on with a quick shake, but it only works sometimes. I can get it to work if I apply pressure to the button and push down the middle screw at the same time while it’s partially disassembled).



Am I missing something? like a nut to keep the screw in place? The plastic cylinder seems to have some holding strength but definitely not enough to keep the screw flush with the pcb.

Thanks in advance for any help or tips to get this guy working :slight_smile:
