How is the light? Curious to know what was causing low output & flickering output.
You had a screw loose!! Sorry, had to say it - the nut on the negative side was only finger-tight, and the tail cap was a bit loose. Fraz tightened it all up, twisted the tailcap in enough to raise the battery up to proper height, and she will be headed back your direction by the weekend.

A screw in the head?

that means the battery did not have solid contact

Sorry, my head doesn't look like that.
Your light should be fine once you get it back from Fraz..
I hope you enjoy it.

fwiw, below are a few more photos of various versions of the Fraz head. What they have in common, is that there is some sort of fastener that holds the mcpcb down..

on your light one of the fasteners had come loose. The battery spring was also set too loose.. Fraz retightened the fastener, and the battery spring, so your light should be good as new again.

other versions of Fraz heads:
