Jet I Pro v1 fell down on hard surface on its head, and has a dent in the bezel. Since then, it has started behaving erratically. For eg.,
- light stops working suddenly, or dims where I can see a faint glow of the LED
- programmed modes are forgotten (I can put it back into programming mode, and then re-program fine though)
- flicker and dim, and normal again, and so on...
- does not start when clicked on, I have to loosen the head, and tighten it and it starts working.

I am surprised, since I assumed lights are pretty much bomb-proof against such impacts, especially the electronics inside. Maybe I am wrong. Can someone give me further pointers? At this point its as good as not having light, since the reliability is gone. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear this. Sounds like the driver is faulty. The LED's are pretty much bomb proof but the electronics not so much - depends on the impact.
