1. Burnt PCB trace – The main power trace beneath the rotary switch can overheat and lift from the board. Bypassing is possible but risky.
2. Cracked reflector housing – The silver coating is delicate. If flaking, the beam becomes useless.
3. Water ingress rust – If the internal PCB has green-blue corrosion bridging components, the microcontroller is dead.
