Had a little Mini-Mag 2AA for years. Worked OK. Lite got dim, changed
batteries, still dim. Bulb looked burned, replaced bulb. Tried and
tested different batteries. Cleaned contacts at base/end of unit.

Damned thang won't lite. Bulb OK, batteries OK, unit has not been abused.

Any ideas?


Check the Mag web page as they have repair information there, as well as
where to send it for warranty repairs.

Warranty is rather meaningless, since shipping cost is close to the cost of
a replacement unit. My first Maglite cost 40 bucks at a gun shop. Ten years
later, after that one got stolen, the replacement cost about half that (and
it showed) from a 'regular' big-box store.
In the old days Zippo lighters used to have a similar warranty- they would
just stuff new guts in and send it back.
