Hi all,
It has been 9 years since I received this light and recently are having some contact problems. I have issues getting proper contact with certain batteries and after careful investigation found that the +ve contact on the board have worn out and is now lower than the original due to wear from rubbing.
What would be the best way to rectify this issue? I am assuming that a new blob of solder is needed. What would be the best way to do it?
As I am based in Malaysia, sending it over to Hawaii is a concern for me, so would like to do it myself. Do i need to remove the board or just leave it in the head for the soldering works? Or sending it back to McGizmo would be the sensible option?
Thanks in advance.
