Repairing a Fenix PD10-TI

mknewman · Nov 5, 2019

One of my favorite lights is my Fenix PD10-TI titanium. Unfortunately I dropped it the other day and the glass broke. Case is still in great shape. I contacted Fenix but they don't have just the glass, only aluminum heads, bleh. The glass has a crack all the way across but has not shattered. I'm thinking find a replacement glass and dig the other one out, try to press a new one in. Has anyone done this?

I know Fenix isn't a favorite around here but this one with a CR-123 is a really sweet light. If anyone is up to taking on the repair msg me here please.

Isn't that a real ancient one? You find anyone to figure out the problem? :grin2:

You won't be able to press it in. The driver/pill will need to be unscrewed and it will slide out and put in the new one.

I think flashlight lens. Com might have a replacement. Or can a similar diameter cr 123 light work?
I still have my PD 10 Ti and use it often. Great little light. It was my first Ti light. Now I'm up to 2 Ti lights. [emoji16]

The hard part on that light will be the disassembly. You can try putting it in a ziplock bag and try the boil technique.
I have never disassembled mine. But pretty sure it's glued in.

Well, till the glass fully breaks or crazes I'm going to leave it alone. I got a PD10 from Fenix without the TI so if I can get both of them apart I could use the glass but it doesn't appear to be a screw in deal and I'm chicken to do a press on the glass without knowing it is actually a slip fit. If they have it soldered or glued I may be out of luck. The boil bag idea is a pretty good one though.

It's now devoid of photos, but this older thread may help.

When all else fails, I've been able to use watch lenses for hard to find flashlight lenses.
esslinger(dot)com is one ,of a few sources, as a example.

The Ti Pd-10 is a great looking light.
