A while a go 2 of my torches became faulty. Tried to fix them myself presuming it was the tailcaps. I Melted 1 switch, the other one fell to bits on taking it out of the tail end.

C-8 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6145
C3 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7938

So what's left of them is the rubber tail cap and the screwing plate that holds the switch in place.

I presume the cree leds still work. Cosmetically they look perfect. I don't want to put them in the trash can.

I have had a look around for an easy solution to fix these. Can anyone recommend anything to me?

I'd keep the light for parts for any mods. I don't think there are any easy fixes.

The LEDs and drivers should still work.

Buy a new light?

:welcome: IMHO, It may be better to keep the lights for parts-the cost to fix them (shipping included) is more than the lights would be worth. Just my $0.02
