this flashlight's battery died
**broken link removed**
so i thought i can power the LED inside it with 1.2v from a DC source and use it as a lamp.
but wen i connected a DC source (with right polarity) to the LED, it blinks and turns off immediately (every time wen i connect it blinks for the first time)
so my assumption is that the LED is not fully dead
i tried frm 1.2v to 5v
the original charger's Output is 4.5V 250MA
i used an adapter which supports 500ma
is this LED dead ??
if not then what should i do to light up this LED ??
by the by this LED looks like having some electronic components attached to it ( i think )
it looks some what like these pics
