I'm having more and more problems with my Maglite Mini 2AA model and my 4D.
When I twist the head, the light only comes on 3 out of 10 times, and even when it does, it is dim and flickers, as if the connection is shocking.
Being a bit newbish to this sort of thing, can anyone recommend a way of fixing it? I'd replace it but the flashlight has sentimental value as an 18th birthday present and having gone everywhere with me in the world so far.
I have sent it off for repairs with Sheldon & Hammond Australia however they sent it back saying it's fine, and it is still the same as it was before.
Also having a problem with my 4D, the button sticks in half the time so the light does come on, but I have to press extra hard to click it again to get it off. Perhaps the switch needs cleaning
or something?
On the other hand, being a non-technical person, I was proud of being able to come up with a way of stopping the batteries from rattling around inside which also doubles as a way of inserting them and being able to "drop" them into the flashlight without them rocketing down the tube and smacking into the switch/each other by rolling a fine sheet of paper up and cutting it at a certain measurement and then cramming it down the body. The flashlight is now completely silent when moved/shaken and the batteries don't come out all dinged up.
