After waiting 10.5 weeks after it was shipped, my Zebralight SC600 mkII finally arrived. Zebralight actually gave me a refund because they thought it was lost, even though I never asked for a refund. So days after I get the refund, the light arrives.
The problem is, it won't turn on. I inserted an Orbtronic protected 3400 mAh 18650, button towards the head of flashlight. Nothing. I tried another Orbtronic (taken from my C8 which works fine) and the ZL still won't turn on. I tried a Thrunite 3400 mAh protected, same thing.
I know that others use protected batteries in the ZL SC600 mkII and I know some use the Orbtronic (which is why I bought them). So, it can't be because the batteries are protected.
Is there a trick to getting the light to work for the first time? Do I need to configure something? Or, is it DOA?
I was wondering what to do if I ever received it (pay Zebralight again?) because I've never been in this situation. If it's DOA, they would have given me a refund or something anyways, so now I don't know what to do with the light. :shrug:
Does anyone know why my ZL isn't working, out of the box? I'm wondering if it got damaged during the 10+ weeks trip to Canada. Is there something I need to do before inserting the battery or turning it on? I don't understand why it isn't working. :thinking:
