Hi guys,



I've been having trouble with my Fenix L0d q5 for a while now so I decided to clean it and now it won't turn on. For a few months, it's been flickering, sometimes it wouldn't turn on, and at times the light would fade from bright to low, and if I shook it, it would turn back on at full power. Also, when I woudl twist the light to switch modes, sometimes it would skip modes (go from low to strobe, instead of low to medium to high to strobe etc). The light is a little over a year old. I am very new to lights so I may have done something stupid.



I took the light apart, put some alcohol on a paper towel and cleaned the threads and top of the bottom half of the body (that contacts the board inside). Quite a bit of blackish stuff came off. I didn't put on any lube afterwards. I reassembled and now the light will not turn on at all.



Any ideas?



Thank you much.
