My 80 year old mom ruined my Zebralight SC700… please help
I leave my dog with my parents when I have to travel for work and they have super weak/cheap Amazon flashlights that are useless when the dog needs to go out at the end of the night.
This trip I also left my SC700, which I love, so they had bright light. When I watched my mom use it the last nights I was there after I was back from my trip, I watched her frantically clicking the power button over and over, to the point that the strobe started. I asked her what the heck she was doing, I told her she just needed to click it. Clearly she was holding it, thinking it wasn’t turning on, then going crazy with the button.
Now when I use it back home, the thing gets so fucking got to the touch it’s uncomfortable. I don’t understand what she could have possibly done save perhaps entering some sort of second sub level for the high setting and then maxing it? I tried lowering the PID on H1 the 5 degrees I’m supposed to be able to but it’s still SO much hotter than it used to get. My SC700 literally never got hot, only slightly warm, compared to my SC600 which would get hot.
I don’t know what to do. I want to factory reset the thing to see if that would fix it but I have no idea how to do that. I also can’t help but wonder if she somehow straight up burnt out the PID.
So so frustrating, it’s the easiest fucking flashlight to use and she couldn’t figure it out.
