Went tot the cabin to do some deer hunting and found the Mag lite
nonfunctional. I had left the batteries in it since last year (don't
usually) but there is no sign of corrosion let alone leakage. These
things aren't that complicated but I've done the battery and bulb swap out
with no change. Any other suggestions before I trash *another* Mag-lite??
This is a 2 AA cell unit, if that matters. Oh yea, I wrote to the company
on Monday but haven't heard back as yet.


If I recall, they make electrical contact via the threads on the battery
hatch. Are they clean?

If you get fed up with Mag-Lites, take a look at www.surefire.com. Amazing
products. Be sure to order the batteries from the web site. They a LOT
cheaper that way, compared to what some gun shops charge.
