Unfortunately my Petzl Tikka 2 headlamp recently started to break down. Light is much dimmer than it used to be and sometimes flickers.
Shaking headlamp sometimes results in a brighter light. Even light shaking is sufficient, for example during walking.
Obviously, I tried replacing batteries with brand new ones - but it failed to fix the issue.
Place where I bought it claimed that headlamps are not worth fixing and recommmended paying for a brand new one. But I want to at least try fixing it, I have some limited experience with fixing electronical appliances.
I see screws behind batteries, so inside should be openable (though screws are a bit unusual).
Is my case (dimmer light, flicker, shaking sometimes makes it brighter) showing indicators to be some typical failure? Are there some reccommendations to icrease chance that I will fix it? Is there some way to get info about layout of electronics inside?
