Maybe it was something specific to the first design of E09s then? This was a problem with the original ones I thought and was referenced in the squirrel's lengthy review:

Disassembly / Troubleshooting.
Dont you dare to remove the rear spring! I dont advise you to ever try to remove the rear spring. It's not difficult to take it out but believe me, it's very difficult to get it back in place .. maybe similar to any Aluminum AAA light. The problem is the anodization. The inner tube is fully anodized. Well, except for 1.0mm at the bottom of the body where the spring is in circumferential contact with the tube. Removing the rear spring will destroy its perfect round circular base shape and distort the spring. It is then practically impossible to reposition the base part of the spring back at its original placement in contact with the non-anodized body inner tube bare aluminum part (tube ring). No exaggeration, this is more than a pita. And if one of you ever experiences trouble with the light not turning on, my second suggestion would be, check the rear spring!
