I modified an Astrolux A01. It had the dreaded next memory mode (NMM), so I tried the pencil mod trick.
Here’s the flashlight and head:
I used a tweezers to removed the pill:
I wasn’t able to reach the capacitor on the driver for the pencil mod trick and eventually the negative LED wire broke off. But then I was able to write across the capacitor with a pencil and put everything back together:
Unfortunately the NMM stayed the same. So I added some more pencil to the capacitor and then surprisingly it kept the mode to only low. I then removed some of it with a toothpick, and what do you know, it worked! After all these years of dealing with NMM, the flashlight finally works like it should.
