I've already contacted 4Sevens and currently waiting for their response...
BUT! I thought to ask the most enthused community for advanced insights while I wait.
Well, my D10 R2 stopped working. I have no idea why. Two weeks ago, before I went away for vacation, I played with D10 to compare the brightness with my new U2SVOH modded E1e (Gunga special :twothumbs). For those curious, the modded E1e goes head to head with D10 in terms of brightness and throw.
Then, like a 'good' D10 user, I untwisted the head slightly to prevent the battery drain, and left it on the night stand. Next morning, I left for vacation and came back a few days ago.
The day I came back (exactly two weeks later), I grabbed the D10 to compare the light again, this time to my new Fenix LD01 ss just for comparison. I picked it up, twisted the head fully and nothing. Depressed the piston and nothing. I thought perhaps I hadn't untwist the head quite enough and the battery had drained.
Well, after three fresh AA, the light hasn't fired up once. Not even a flicker or low brightness...just flat out blank. I checked the piston, no signs of battery leakage, dry with no residue of any sort.
I don't own ANY rechargeables, either Li-ion or Nimh, so I don't believe I could have damaged the circuit somehow...or could I have?
Has something like this happened to any one else?
As I mentioned, I've already contacted 4Sevens (with greatest faith that they'll take care of me properly) but couldn't wait so I decided to reach out to the 'community.'
Any thoughts? :sigh: I love this light...
