I've got a little E01 that I like a lot, but it has some strange behavior. Lately, after I turn it on for a couple seconds, it will dim suddenly and noticeably, even with a fresh battery.

What's strange is that if I briefly apply pressure to the lens/LED area (i.e., squeezing the top toward the bottom, the light returns to full brightness for a while.

I've tried cleaning the contacts with alcohol, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas?
