Hi all,
We have an old, out of warranty, (not that this is covered under warranty!), Princetron Tec Quad that has been subjected to, I think, salt water and, I know, battery leakage.
The failing mode is; you push the button, all four leds light, you release the button, all four leds go out. Sorta handy for some lighting uses, but, not so much in headlamp land.
Thinking the corrosion got past the seals to the switch/circuit module ?
My question to anyone who may help: How do you open the water resistant compartment to get to the switch / circuitry?
I'm not figuring this out so far and I'm reluctant to apply mechanical pressure and turn a ? 10 % ? working light into a 100 % throw it out, though that's probably where were headed here.
Oh, BTW, NOT my light. I don't break lights with water/battery abuse. Dropping them off ladders or running them over is my style !
Thanks for any help,,
