How do you change the fenix tailcap switch/boot?

alank2 · Sep 18, 2008

Hi,

I can see the two holes when the tailcap is off. Do you need some sort of tool to unscrew the pcb and remove it? I'm thinking about trying one of the forward clickies that 4sevens has for it. I find it interesting that they provide a spare boot and no instructions on how to change it...

Thanks,

Alan

Use a pair of needlenose pliers. Insert into the holes and turn.

Insert anything into the holes and unscrew the retaining ring. It's pretty simple, that why there are no instructions for it.

there is actually a video on their website somewhere that shows it, someone pointed me to it once when i wanted to do a similar thing. But its pretty easy, a a pair of needle nose pliers or even a pair of tweezers could probably do it.
