urm... if it has the same style of switch and inners as DR4 (might do?) then try taking the back off the light head unit bit and check the screws on the contacts inside are tight, that was the cause of mine dying (well before it died for good when it got flooded).

Mine is a bit fussy about the batteries. It only works with duracells or the block or rechargables it came with. Tried evereadys once and it would not work. Took it back to the shop where they expained that differnt batteries are actually slightly different sizes.

Hope this helps.

Yes, mine is dead fussy when it comes to batteries as well. Duracells work fine but Energizers mean that the torch makes clicky sounds and won't light.

I have a HID which has mysteriously snuffed it. Not the same make though. Someone once mentioned something about a starter switch. No idea what that is, but could be that if it isnt the bulb or batteries.

An obvious one.....but.....have you tried cleaning all the connections? Sometimes a transparent film can build up on electical items and they look fine?
