I have an older 2AA maglight (purple if it matters) that recently broke on me. It has given me several years of loyal service and would liek to fix it rather than replace it. the bulb stopped working one day so my first action was to replace the batteries, however this didnt solve my proble. I then went to my local Home Deopt and bought a replacement bulb, however it still didnt work. Frustrated, I hit the light and it lit up for a secont, I noticed whenever I struck teh light it lit. I took it apart and have limited the problem to two palces, in the tail cap the spring. I think it may not be putting adequet pressure on the batteries. alternatly I think that the bulb holder (a paice of plastic) may be broken. I tried cleaning the contacts but it had no effect.
has any one ever had this happen to them? can I buy replacement parts?
