I recently purchased a Ultrafire C8 (Cree XML-T6) flashlight from amazon. Obviously I realize that this is essentially a throw away light but I am fine with that. It is a great flashlight that far exceeds most of the far more expensive flashlights I have encountered when taking into consideration cost. The only issue I have with mine is that the mode memory doesn't work at all. Every time you turn the flashlight off and back on it proceeds to the next mode. I was wondering if there was any chance of being able to pull apart the driver and fix the issue, though I assume not. Otherwise I will just buy another one. Thanks.
 
You can google "flashlight troubleshooting". A bunch of stuff will come up on this subject. Good Luck!
 
Mode memory can be like that. Especially with the cheaper lights. Some lights reset and always start on high or medium; some restart in the mode it was in when turned off; others will consider being turned off as a mode change, and restart in the next mode. So, it's possible the light is working "properly".

You didn't specify which light exactly, but Dave L.'s review for a 5-mode Ultrafire mentioned your complaint.
