Hi all guys, that’s my first mod!
I’ve buy some time ago this little bastard:
It’s a nice AA/14500 zoomer, this is the link if you want to take a etter look: Ultrafire Q5
As you can see, the tailcap/button is out/broken, and I need to replace it.
It’s broken because I’ve try to put out, it do not work anymore
Here some ore pics:
HERE another pic with a different tailcap spring, much bigger (the flashlight itself have some improvement).
So, I’m a totally noob, I nedd some advise which switch must buy to replace it.
I have to replace it and give again to my stepfather.
Thank you very much for helping me!!
(sorry for the big photos)
You have to assemble it so that one lead of the switch makes contact with the bare metal of the tailcap and the other lead needs to get the spring soldered on. I would try to clean the plastic part a bit and then reuse it. Maybe you need some dremeling or glueing, but it is doable.
Thank you, I’ve saw this switch, but I’m not sure if it goes in the cap. The dimensions are not the same.
that can be a possibility, my last chance
But what about modes? I don’t care strobe or sos or moonlight or so on; for this flashlight low/high is enough.
This sucker can work with 14500 too, so I would need a coupple of modes.
