When you push up on the lens to light it up it doesnt click back and it doesnt light up.You know when you push up it clicks and then lights up and you click it again and it shuts off?Well when you try to click it it justs comes up and nothing happens it doesnt light up or come back feels like a spring or something broke.

thanks

mine did the same, what I needed to do was pull the assembly out and crazy glue the piece that was broken. Works like new now.

Doesnt hurt to pull it out and see what your up against

If it still has the harness in it as well i`ll take it, if you can email me at droptopcat70@peoplepc.com with a price with shipping and a address and i`ll get back to you ASAP and we can go from there.
thanks for the help everyone
Pat.
