Troubleshooting

Flashlight Not Turning On

  • Make sure you turned the switch to the On position
  • Make sure you inserted a new CR2032 battery (and that it is in + side up)
  • Double check all solder joints to make sure they have a good connection
  • Make sure you soldered your LED in the correct way
  • Make sure you clipped your leads so you don't have any shorts

Flashlight Flickering

  • Make sure all components are soldered in place well
  • Make sure battery is in securely
  • Make sure switch is pushed all the way up
  • Make sure there are no "extra" connections - the leads on the back side of the board should be cleanly clipped.

Flashlight Is Dim

  • Make sure resistor value is 10Ω (brown-black-black-gold-brown)
  • Replace battery as needed
