I bought "a new driver":https://www.fasttech.com/products/1114501 because I thought maybe it was something wrong with the first driver I ordered. But with this driver it`s exactly the same: There is no continuity between the drivers positive connection on the front and the middle of the backside.

From the drivers positive connection on the front:

To the middle of the backside:

Shouldn`t there be continuity there?


(By the way, how can I make my pictures smaller?)

Crop all the unnecessary blank areas and you won't loose resolution of the part we need to see.

Your images are oversize, when you post an image please remember Rule #3

Rule #3 If you post an image in your post, please downsize the image to no larger than 800 x 800 pixels.

Please resize and repost. - Thanks Norm

Any version windows:
Just open pic "open with" chose Paint
Resize option is visible in top menus
resize to whatever (max 800 pixels for this forum)
Save As
 
So I have to save the picture on my harddrive, then resize it in paint, then upload it to dropbox, then make a new link and post it here? No faster way? Another forum has opportunity to write {height:370px; width:500px}

switching drivers don't necessarily have a continuous + or -.

Best to only use the output + and - for powering the load.

Linear AMC7135 will have + input continuous with +output, but it will not buck or boost.
 
How should I solder this driver to my flashlight to get it work?

This time, yes.
Next time upload pic somewhere already resized.
It takes seconds to open, resize, then save using paint.

If that is too much effort I don't know what to say

The body of your flashlight will provide the battery -. The spring on the driver will provide the battery +.

For the LED, just attach + and - to the + and - on the driver, and make sure that the + and - on the LED is isolated from the body of the light.
