Yup the electrical pixies are taking the mickey out of me again :/
Swmbo asked me to fix a new torch of hers which isn't working...
So I checked the batteries, all 1.5v or thereabouts.
Then checked them in situ, 6.2v so close enough.
Then I checked the switch operation, all good.
Then I checked all together, yup 6.2v at the bulb terminals.
So...
I checked the bulb (and the spare) good continuity, hmmmm
So I checked the bulb contacts, also good :?
So...
I checked the voltage across the bulb contacts without a bulb again, 6.2v and with a bulb... 0.05v and not a glimmer from either bulb.
Huh?!?!?
Now I'm confused! (well more confused than usual anyway!)
Anyone got an answer?
Cheers,
Smudge
(bulb is 4.8v 0.5a if it makes any difference)
