I've been very happy with my PCm light for the last 5 years, preferring it over two others I've gotten since then.
After a trip this weekend I rinsed my gear and dropped it onto carpet, and it stopped working. I figure it's the bulb, but after opening the seal I'm unable to get into the black "bulb" compartment any further.
Any tips, or places where I can find instructions?

Thanks a lot.
 
There are little tabs that hold the bulb in. It also has a spring in with the bulb. Gently use a small screw driver and push tabs in. Problem also could be the battery contacts in the plastic battery cradles. You can gently bend the metal contacts upward. The shock of being dropped can compress the contacts. I would look at the battery contacts first.
