Dropped my tn31 roughly 10 meters (out of the plenum in a gym) and it slowly quit working over about 3 weeks after that.
The led still light up, just at something lower than moonlight mode.
Thought it was the LED so I reflowed an xml-2 t6 5000k on it, and same problem, turns out one of the small SOT 23 chips in the tailcap shattered (the one coming from the outer ring), I’m not an electronics guru and I’m absolutely stumped as to what chips to order to replace these, I’d like to replace both of them and just have my light for sure working again.
Anything with higher specs than the stock ones would be nice as I plan to current mod the light to take advantage of the xml-2.
Best I can tell it looks like a pch and and nch jfet.
looks like they are in the same boat as me, cannot find any information on the model.
The top of the bottom one on mine was shattered off so it’s good to know they are both the same model, although it seems that juice would be flowing through them in opposite directions.
You don't need to beef these chips up, just get equal replacements to get it working. Mine does 6.0A - 6.5A by bridging the resistors and no mods to the tail.
Also I did try contacting thrunite-store about getting a replacement board, I need a replacement lens too and would gladly pay for them if I could get any kind of response.
