Well after lots of playing around with the head, and taking the circuit on and off a few ‘diodes’ came off and can’t seem to find them. Light obviously doesn’t turn on, and i’m thinking if the torch is useful for anything before i throw it in the bin.
I have basic soldering skills, but don’t know if there is any point keeping it or should i just buy a new torch?
Sunwayman is really good with customer service,they will likely charge for parts and postage.Finding a driver with a side switch rated at 8.4v will probably be difficult,unless you can mod a retaining ring to fit another driver.Drop them an email just to see what they will do and don’t throw it away,I would take that host in a second.Hope that helps.
