I ordered one from fifthunit and it arived DOA so i did some seaching and thought maybe i need a little more voltage to get it to fire up. With a fresh alky it would flicker if i smacked it on the side then it started working, then quit again and wont do anything. Tried using 2 alkys or nimhs still no action.
Time to take it apart. Figured bad connection somewere. I put a little solder in the thru holes that make the connection from the battery side, (could find nothing else that would indicate trouble). Put it back together and the it would fire up on 2 cells only. Then i put 2 nimh and it was very brite for about 2 secs then dimed to nothing and would not fire up again. No smoke but if i hold it close i can smell that smell of something burnt.
Now to the part were i need some help.

What are the parts i am looking at on the board? I think the problem is on the board w/o the coil ,(that is the boost side right) on the part that has S4 on it, looks like a bubble in the middle of it.
