Possible Causes

Cracked solder joints on handle PCB, Damaged internal wiring harness, Loose connector between handle and main body, Stress damage from drops

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery. Do not continue flexing the handle excessively as this can worsen the damage.

  • 1. Visual inspection: Check the handle and body for cracks or signs of impact.
  • 2. Gentle wiggle test: With the battery installed and unit on, gently move the handle. If power cuts in and out, an internal connection is loose.
  • 3. There is no simple user repair for internal wiring or PCB cracks. The handle or main body assembly typically must be replaced by a technician.
