I just got a Trustfire TR-j18 the other day. It was working for a few days. Now, it does not want to turn on. I think there is something wrong with the driver. Anyone has open one up to get to the circuit board. Thank you!

jaws_one,

I got a new driver from the mfg.

Hey man, But how did you get the driver out, mine simply won’t come out… my high mode is now just mid/medium mode, so assume something in the driver broke that won’t allow max power anymore.

Many people have been using this IO driver, and getting very high lumens from it:
