Oh no!
The batteries corroded in my Maglite and it needs to be cleaned out.

These videos should automatically play as soon as you hit the links.
A broadband connection is highly recommended for these, or most other internet videos. ;)
If not grab the newest adobe flash player and install it.
Here is one place to grab that.

Here is an older pre- 2001 Maglite with the retainer ring removal.

This is also good info for anyone wanting to modify thier Maglites into something much more useful like these 500+ lumen, solid state led monsters.

That's a pretty 'full-on' Maglite (4 Cree XRE) mod there! :D

I'm afraid the only flashlight mod's I've performed (up to date) is a DIY dummy cell so I could use an aftermarket (drop in) 6.0v LED bulb replacement ;)
