Semi-dead Teknolite

[mwp8101]

Hello,

I have an orange Teknolite LED Flashlight that isn't working 100%. I carry it in my car for emergency use, although I've never had to use it. I store it without the batteries inside.

I went to check it out today and found it wouldn't turn on all the time. Batteries are fresh and there no sign of rot anywhere. The metal strip seems tight and in the correct place

It will turn on to a barely there or not at all or full on. It seems when I really tighten it down it will work at 100% but not always.

Don't want to trash this cool light. So, any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Check the solder points.

+1, may need to get a pencil with an eraser on the end and clean up the contacts as when contacts get corroded they tend to dim lights to nothing.
