There is indeed a short, the black wire is directly connected to the ground outer circle somehow. Can quite see where though. Currently googling like a madman trying to find a board file so that I can try to figure this out.
Edit: nevermind, found the short. The FET seems to be shorted out. Going to see if I can find a replacement FET locally, otherwise I might as well just order a new driver from BG (unless there’s a more reputable source out there?).
Here partial gold pcb was detached from driver after my cousin pull up the spring
I have tried to resolder the spring on the part of pcb that was intact.
The Driver shake on their room,this pill is from cometa 2016…
I added 17 to 18mm ring adapter press fit and it raised up
I thinked that the Ground contact was too bad
Outside I pressed and solder 0.5mm unipolar copper wire to increase the ground and fill the gap between the pill and driver
Yes, it appears that it is a string of nylon wrapped in this black fabric. So I’d have to get something with similar (or preferably better) durability. Hmmm…
Or maybe there are good replacement lanyards that are quite cheap? It’s probably easier to find for someone like me!
BTW, this is the second time this happened in a couple months (for my 2 BLF’s).
I would assume you can find many lanyards at the Chinese sites, Banggood, Ali, Fasttech, etc. You have to decide if you think there is any risk buying there though, with all that is going on in the world right now. Maybe just Google flashlight lanyard, I’m sure many will come up, cheap.
Strangely enough, I had already done that, but since I live in Germany, using the German equivalent. Found nothing useful. Did it again, using the English term - found everything I could ask for! In German stores!
My A6 has been working great for years but recently it’s started acting up.
When i turn it on the beam is bright for a few seconds, than goes to a lower mode within seconds and turns off a few seconds after that.
Cycling through modes i cant tell which mode i am in except for the nigh mode. All other modes seem equal in brightness which is very low compared to what it used to be.
I have unscrewed and tightened them many times but it didn’t help.
Problem is gone now though. Switched to a high-current battery (Samsung Q30) and after a turning off & on the flashlight a few times it started working all of a sudden. No idea why & how.
My BLF A6 is acting weird, Its working but you have to do a Full and half a click to turn in ON,
Mode memory is OFF, and it should go to Moonlight, L…Turbo,
When I turn it on - nothing, but after another half click I get some light, .
I changed the battery, I use Sanyos, but I tried a Samsung 30Q and same story, although the Turbo gets really bright
from OFF,
Full click does nothing, no light even in the darkest room.
Another Half click will turn it ON in Low,
another half click goes to Medium, Medium2, High1,High 2… Turbo.
Even with a 30Q battery it will turn on with no light
Or maybe it is missing the Moonlight?
Does moonlight function if you cycle to it normally? If you use memory and switch it on in another level, does it work without needing to do a half press?
Actually not at all. If I cycle from Turbo to next, light just turns off.
If I cycle down or backwards with long half press, same thing, there is no visible output.
Interesting the battery check is missing too
Going down past “Moonlight” which is basicaly OFF, gives me Strobe-OFF-Bike Flasher-OFF-Turbo-OFF-Turbo. Seems like every other mode going down is just OFF, and then Turbo keeps coming back all the time,
