The only thing that you could do without taking out the circuit board is clean the thread and tighten the switch. You might be able to solder a spring to the board but that might void your warranty. Are you sure the flicker is not form the PWM circuit (is it constant flickering at a fast rate or random flickering)?

Repairs, Who did you buy form? If it is a good dealer, send it back for a replacement.

Just got done soldering a silver switch contact to the center of the head end,in place of a spring, seems to have made the light work 100% better and no more flicker!!!!!!! Hope it lasts
