I accidentally dropped my D11 from a height of about 70-75cm head first into the tile floor and since then the light won't work properly. When I screw the head in the light comes on at minimum level and when I press the switch to turn it on/off the light will go to the highest level but as soon as I release the switch it will go back down to the lowest level, the light won't turn off and won't stay at the highest level, if I press and hold the switch it will start from high go down to low like it's supposed to and when I release it it drops to such a low level that I can barely see the LED is on, if I press the switch again it goes back to it's normal low.
I disassembled the head to inspect it and at first glance there was no obvious damage so cleaned everything up reassembled and nothing changed so I took it apart again and noticed that was something like some sort of glue on around the PCB and "glue" had come apart a little bit on one side and it looked like the outer ring trace was just barely touching the body, I removed the PCB and found out that there is another outer ring trace on the under side.
Now my question is the supposed to be isolated from the body, more specifically the under side? I know the side that faces the battery shouldn't make contact because that's what closes the circuit and activates the light when I press the switch.
Any clues? I love this light and would really like to get it fixed. Any help would be appreciated.
I linked 2 pics of the PCB.
