About 3 months ago I picked up a Novatac 120P in black as my new EDC flashlight to replace my Fenix P2D Q5 (which my brother is borrowing now). I love the modes and ability to switch back and forth, but as of late I've noticed that the clicky doesn't seem to work quite as well as when I first bought it.
I'll go to double click it to change the mode and sometimes it will turn off, other times it won't do anything at all. Or I'll triple click to go to low low and it'll stay on the same setting, or just turn off, which can be disconcerting. I've been trying to hit the button with the same amount of pressure each time, and I guess the best way to describe its operation is "inconsistent." Reliability is of paramount concern for me, as it's my main light to be paired with my CCW when I don't carry my 6P with Malkoff (you guys are a bad influence- I started off with an E2D thinking it was the only good flashlight I'd ever need, now look).
I took it apart last night and it looks pretty clean inside, although there was some pocket lint near the o-rings, so I don't think it's caused due to dirt.
My question: is there any fix I can do myself, short of sending it back or buying a new tailcap? I love the light, the form factor, and the beam.
Thanks in advance!
