Hey y'all,
I have been experiencing connection issues with my SF M3 since I received it NEW and I'm hoping maybe somebody has a few ideas. At first I thought it was my LED Drop-in, so I switched back to MN10 lamp. I thought it was my 17500 setup, so I switched back to 3 primaries. Despite my efforts, I have found the error to present itself with every setup I could come up with, including the factory configuration.
I have used three different SF tailswitches, two factory twisties and a mcclicky'd one. I have used primaries and rechargeables with good charge.
[Notice] All setups will work when the tailcap is removed and a paper clip is used to complete the circuit. This includes when the bezel is removed and the lamp is allowed to "sit" in the lampwell. [Notice]
I can tighten down the twisty or click the clicky switch and 90% of the time, nothing will happen. If I shake or tap the light, sometimes I will get a flicker OR, rarely, it will come on for good. I have wiped down the threads numerous times. I have also tried stretching the spring. Maybe not enough?
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
