Step 8Disassembling the flashlight

Disassembling the flashlight
A. Use a Phillips screwdriver on the four screws to disassemble the flashlight.

B. The flashlight should pull apart easily. Identify which parts are the case top, case bottom, and faceplate.

C. Pull the electronics out.

D. Clip the two wires close to the faceplate. You will use the wire that is soldered to the switch, so keep that wire as long as possible. Then clip the wire and the end of diode D1 (the negative, cathode end is marked with a black line) close to the stacked coin batteries so that the wire and diode lengths extending from the motor M1 are as long as possible.
