well it doesnt seem like a battery failure because it was an instant failure rather than a slow dim followed by nothing

Phase one of the new regime...

How bout you try to figure it out? maybe? take it apart.. and put it back together.. and make it work... It's a simple circuit that with 2 minutes of tinkering should get it working or at least determine the fault.

Knowledge must be sought.. it can't be granted

In all honesty? Go research how flashlights work.

Then apply that knowledge to your flashlight. That is my advice.

If you don't have experience soldering, inspecting circuits with a multimeter, or don't have the equipment to properly fix the part... either take it to someone who does, or go learn how to do it yourself.
