How to stop the RC-G2 from flickering?

[fstuff]

and to get it to turn on EVERYTIME?
instead of sometimes having to adjust the head or tail, or smack it a couple of times.

Open the head and tighten down the pill. It comes loose a lot.

And you might also want to make sure that the tailswitch is tight as well........clean all threads with wd-40 and see how that goes.

sigh.. coming on everytime only lasted till the next day.

it doesnt turn on 1/2 the time. I have to smack it. (but it no longer flickers once it is on thx to tightening of the pill.)

what causes the light not to come on when i press the tail switch? and How do i fix that?

Hi fstuff.

Sometimes with the budget lights, the soldering is not always up to scratch.
The best bet is to re-solder anything that looks like solder. Most of the time this will fix it.
