If your Mini Maglite does not work despite following all instructions, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the Lamp and Batteries – Use a meter to test if the lamp is burned out or if the batteries are depleted. Replace them if necessary with genuine Mag replacement parts.

2. Inspect the Contacts – Ensure that the side contact and center contact are properly positioned within the switch.

3. Verify the Insulators – Make sure the upper and lower insulators are correctly aligned and securely in place.

4. Check the Seals and O-Rings – Confirm that all visible seals (items 6, 10, and 19) are intact and properly installed.

5. Reinstall the Lamp – Ensure the lamp is inserted correctly in the receptacles and is vertical and straight.

6. Clean the Lamp – Use a clean, soft cloth to remove moisture and oil from the lamp glass.

If the flashlight still does not work, repairs must be performed by Mag Instrument certified warranty service personnel.
