I’ve had my Wurkkos FC11 for a couple weeks. It does this thing sometimes when I change modes - the light is unresponsive to button presses. I have to unscrew the tailcap and “reboot” the flashlight.
I captured a video of it doing that. You can hear me clicking the light but nothing happens.
I’m wondering if this is some weird lockout mode with the light on? Or is my light kinda faulty? I haven’t seen it not respond to a button press other than when it’s in this frozen-on state, so I don’t think it’s a mechanical issue with the button itself.
4 quick presses locks the light when it’s off. But clicking 4 times when on doesn’t seem to do anything. I’ve tried it when it’s frozen like that, but nothing changes.
Hey, thanks for checking. I’ve had mine since July 29th from Amazon US, so exactly 2 weeks. In that time, I’ve used it almost every day for a little bit. This has happened like maybe 9 or 10 times. Not enough to make me go through the trouble of returning it I guess, but a bit of a nuisance and reliability issue.
I’ve done some basic troubleshooting last weekend, like clean out the contact points on head and tail cap assembly, but it still happened after that. I think most of that time it’s happened when I’m changing modes, which I’m doing a lot because it’s a new light and I’m playing with it.
Mark told me Amazon's robot scan has mistaken FC11 for a pesticide tool.
Now, it needs to be verified for being harmless. :FACEPALM:
It will probably reappear within 3-4 days.
