Nice! It's been two years and it finally works consistently again! Thank you!!
Nice, you fixed my drawer full of "broken" flashlights lol.
Unbelievable! I was headed to the trashcan! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this very helpful video.
Man!! Thank you I've had a flashlight for years and I figured it was broken your video helped greatly, Thank you
So glad I found this. Had a flashlight that stopped working for years. I kept it around because I liked that light and I knew it wasn't broken. Finally fixed the problem and got the light shining again after 4 1/2 years.
I was just about to throw away a flashlight, then I saw your video, switched the tube and it works! Thank you so much
Brilliant! Three flash lights fixed in 5 minutes!! Thanks!!
Thanks, sir. This was my husband's. He passed away. I had changed batteries, but it still didn't light. Three minutes into this video and I had my answer-- I had put the battery compartment in backward. It works again!
OMG thankyou so much for this, I thought my nitecore c6 had died nearly 2 years ago, pulled it apart once more and noticed a circular piece of plastic along the rim near the led housing which i figured might have been securing the (now very loose) plastic circuitboard cover near where the positive terminal meets the battery. I also cleaned along all the rims and rear housing along with the battery terminals as you suggested with isopropyl alcohol put it back together and BINGO it works.
Thank you sir! Excellent information sir 👍! Your tips helped me fix my old Energizer flashlight. The rear spring where the negative side rest on was corroded and needed a good cleaning up with tweezers and cuetip was able to reach in the cylinder body.
Great vid. Thanks mate! Sorted my issue with your help.
Thanks! I fixed my Nicron B70's issues by unscrewing both ends, cleaning the threads with alcohol, and re-screwing it! Now it doesnt flicker, and it actually charges through the side USB! Thanks again!
Great video. So much good info in just ten minutes. Very helpful.
Thanks a lot it seems to have fixed my nitecore. I was surprised how much build up there was on the thread 👍
Very informative! I subbed immediately when I saw how easy you make this! Cheers from Australia 👍👍👍
Thank you. I managed to fix my wife’s “flashlight”. She’s really happy it’s working again. You’d be surprised how often she needs it on hand…
thanks fixed it for me, kinda a fail but not a fail on my end lol, had a nice little pocket flashlight that costed me almost 20 bucks, havent even had it for a week yet and dropped it once and the light stayed on, tried the tightening spring trick and it broke, its on the led end but i found a trick to just center it on its battery itself and screw in the led
4:32 This helped so much! Thank you! I didn't know how to push the spring down and wasn't sure what the problem exactly was since another piece was loose. But turning the spring with a wrench fixed my flashlight. I've been using this one for many years and I'm so glad I could fix it. Thanks!
My flashlight doesn't turn off
@@joegarcia2883 Is the button stuck?
Thank you so much My brand new flashlight would not work. Cleaned it up with alcohol works fantastic great video
You are a flash light guy.good explanation and I got mine fixed thanks..👌
What about “pushbutton” switches..? The HL 5-X for instance I have was working GREAT...THEN not..?
Fixed my problem. Thank you so much
One of the led’s in my flashlight keeps flickering on and off. Do you know how to fix it?
Thanks pal I learned a few things there,thanks for taking the time.atb paddy🍀👍☺
No it didn't help this time it's a little bit different flashlight than what you've got the back end has just a spring back there but the side has a place where I could charge it from a computer so it's got to be an LED I have checked every possible way but to no avail I may have to take it in give me a can you give me a place to go I'm in Taylor Michigan thank you
Thanks Bushcraft, my problem is getting some soapy water when cleaning the flashlight. All during this pandemic and now still washing down my flashlight either alcohol or handy wipes how many usual too much water and it gets in and ruins the switch.. I tried using compressed Air to Force it out but most still not working. They were these $3 cheap one double A battery jobs from "micro center" great little lites but most have gone bad due to water I'm sure and unsoldered connections.. you look in the tailpipe spring the coil is just pressured against the inner diameter of the back screw cap. And also the spring is just pressing on the lead right behind the LED board isnt solder to the back of it. So it's always losing electrical connection. And the other end of that spring makes contact with the AA battery spring-loaded pressing against the aide switch. so it's constantly losing electrial contact it helps when I solder it. But man very tight in there. I try its just a hit and miss
Ok, question. I have an Eagletac SX25l2 that was my duty light for quite a while. It took a fall on hard concrete while I was in a foot pursuit one day and hasn't worked since. I've pulled it all apart and see nothing loose or obviously broken. No burs on the tube or contact points. It still charges the battery. It has one of those "E" switches on the side. If that has gone bad, how can I check that? Is there anything else that comes to mind that I should check after taking a fall like that? Everything appears tight after taking it apart and putting it back together.
my most used solutions:
1) clean contacts (epecially twisties!)
2) tighten everything
3) change/recharge batteriesI also really like the pencil fix that can disable the stupid modes on those super cheap lights. (you make a graphite line on the capacitor and the mode timing changes depending on the lines thickness)
In my experience when i do a spring bypass the contacts shouldnt be tin, it just gets really dirty very quick. I guess its some kind of oxidation.
Thanks fixed my flashlight right up.
I have a brand new Energizer flashlight with the strobe , high low beam but the strobe comes on by itself?
This is a brand new flashlight and It's never been dropped before. I changed the batteries and put new ones in but the stroke still comes on sometimes by itself when no one touches it. It's the ENERGIZER TACTICAL PMHT61.
Thanks for this video.. my flashlight went dim and I just needed to clean the threads for the tail cap
I was looking for a Q&A site for this: My Quarrow brand cigarette lighter plug in flashlight , there’s a lower plug section containing the battery, in unscrews to an upper half containing the light and the switch. The switch alternates off on white blue. My issue is that it sometimes doesn’t shut off until the battery discharges. I think it’s the switch but it doesn’t access for replacement. Otherwise, it has been an effective and useful light.
Fixed my MH20 thanks man
Hi I have a question I have 2 flashlights that just keep blinking in all modes how can I fix it.
Bought super cheap aluminum thread flashlight on ebay. Looked like the thread connection was the problem. Cleaning the threads with alcohol seemed to solve the problem so far.
thanks for the video! My Flashlight kept turning on and off on me and i cant screw off the top. So i tought the battery had some bad connection with the receiver. I turned the light part and it felt like the tube connected. Its fixed now thanks!
So I have a J5 tactical flashlight.
I did everything you suggested. What else could the problem be?
Did you get around to changing the smoke detector batteries?
thanks
waar o waar kan ik zo'n schakelaartje kopen om deze te vervangen? groet
Thank you, I had a dim LED light and now it is brighter.
i have nebo edge 90 the button/clicker works turns on/off but doesn't glow in the dark anymore have any idea how i would fix it any feedback would be much appreciated
You may have just saved me. My Brand new Convoy S2+ stopped working because the spring attached to the tail switch is loose.
Halo..i am from malaysia..please help me..i got a situation here..i get this XHP110 flashlight yesterday..already remove the protective insulation also..after fully charged i tested it and it's work functioning well..after about 5 minutes i turn it off..and after that i try to ON it but fail...only the COB led is functioning..can you help me what the problems?? And how to fix it? Could be the driver circuit burn??
My flashlight always switches from steady light beam to blinking light beam. Any solutions?
Pretty sure I have a busted e-switch or driver. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to take it out. No retaining ring, or holes that look like I could screw it out.
What do I do if my old mag light won’t unscrew open its like stuck from the dead batteries inside and I don’t know what to do?
I received a flashlight from china. When i press the power button, it only flickers once. But not turning on. Could it be something inside not making good contact?
My torch stops working below a depth of 5m. Any clues??
My jobsmart pro series (new) Flashlight wont turn on. I cant push the on button. It wont go in.
Okay flashlight whisper I'm looking for a new flashlight under $30 that zoomable and high lumens I know zoomable isn't really high-end flashlights but I actually like the zomaffect
Hi, If you give up the zoom effect, right now there is a sale on banggood for several good flashlights. I prefer my flashlights waterproof rather than having a zoom, though i used to like the zoom a lot too, i havent found a single light that would make a good reliable zoom mechanism.
Yeah man. My acebeam k75 gave me a heart attach..... I just charged the batteries, and put them in right way on battery holder. No light! Jesus. It was just not threaded tight enough. Need more pressure on battery cage to contact end...
How many times can you say electrical connection
My tube was backwards 😑 Thanks man
Unfortunately these tips could not save my 90's Garrity blue flashlight I got to use it one last time today 😭
Your smoke detector needs a battery my guy
Yo I thought I was going crazy thank you for saying something
The toooob😀
my problem is in the led. Showing black burnt mark on a wire. But not seperated. Xlightfire C15. 40 dollar loss from wish app.
My Mom dropped a flashlight on the floor, and now it flashes on and off continuously, instead of shining a beam. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Get a new one
Bought a new husky flashlight and its not working out of the box
nitecore cgh finished
They should make decent lights . Most of today's flashlights are junk. Never had to do maint on the older lights. Mag lights today are junk compared to 30 years ago buy one had it for a long time. I would like to say hanks for this vid it was informative.
nitecore chg finished
Vinod
my flashlight is charged and won't turn on
Please go replace the battery in your smoke detector! How is that not driving you nuts?!
Farpoint flashlights are plain JUNK.....town of 300 Norbys nearby,,,we ALL have same problem...goes on for 20 seconds and progressively worse from there...I own 20 rechargeable s soNO comparison...JUNK...and NO service at all...JUNK
I'm sure this would have been a great and informative video, but the way he pronounced "tube" was so annoying, and after the 4th or 5th time hearing "tooooob", I just couldn't take it anymore. Id rather roll around in barbed wire with Magic Johnson, then have to hear that one more time.
