ok, my q8’s indicator light (switch) doesn’t stay on anymore. I didn’t understand the manual posted. (have to be in a certain mode to fix the issue) (eye roll). anyone want to give me the “for dummies” solution? . I cant read 550 pages of q8. I just read 500 pages of GT, I can barely see now
This is just a guess Jason… but I bet if it just happened all at once, after previously working fine; it has been deactivated …. as you mentioned. And a factory reset, as you also mentioned; will solve it.
I have done this a few times myself by accident…… :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:
Factory reset was my friend……
.
. Below is a link to the simplest Factory Reset directions I have found.
Hope this solves it…….
Let us know.
……
Edit for spelling….
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
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
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.
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.
