Anyone else having any type GT Mini switch problems besides the people I mentioned above??
……… List updated. Pulstar & komeko RESOLVED, 30 December 2018
Not a problem with the switch but inside the head of one of my GT mini’s (I bought 4 from Neal) something is rattling. I reported this to Neal. He asked for a video which I sent him a few days ago. So far he didn’t reply yet.
No, the centering ring for the reflector isn’t missing. Unfortunately I can’t get the bezel off because it seems glued and I don’t want to damage the finish.
About the only other thing I can think of would be a completely loose anti rotation screw. If that’s the case, there is a chance it could create a short between the positive lead and the reflector.
If the centering ring is there, maybe the o-ring is missing. Assuming the o-ring applies pressure to the lens and reflector. You might add a little heat to the bezel (hair dryer, heat gun, etc…) and see if you can loosen it.
I’m having some problems. The switch behaves strangely sometimes. It started working fine a few days ago when I loosened bezel a tiny bit. I opened it again today removed the reflector to check something and put it back and it started doing random things again. Like not not detecting clicks and sometimes detecting two. It seems to fix itself sometimes but then starts malfunctioning again.
For some reason the highest current I can get from a 30q is 3 amps. This is with a mustool MT66 with some AC mains cables instead of stock leads. With an LG MJ1 I got about 3.8 amps. The led looks brighter aswell compared to my L16. The button is slightly off center on the 30qs so could this be what’s causing the problem? I don’t even know if I’m meant to be using button tops in the first place but that is what it states on banggoods page.
