Blackdog92 2,047 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Does anyone know how to fix the tracer 170 lamp. The male end that plugs in to the adapter that goes in to the battery wont stay in it will only work if i hold them together. I thought it was just the adapter so i rang deben because i bought my battery from them and asked for a replacment adapter witch they sent me a new one the next day no problem so i was pleased with that. So i get the new part and it still doesnt work. I camt send the lamp back because i didnt buy it from deben. Can anyone help me? I hope its a easy fix because i dont want to buy a new one i only got this one 2 years ago. Quote Link to post

Is it a simple job? I have access to a soldering iron but i havent used one since school so i may be a bit rusty with it. Quote Link to post
