Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
What sort is it?
Is it one in regular use that has stopped working or been in storage for a while and hasn't worked since? Has it gotten wet?
A few things to check.
Stick another lot of new batteries in.
Clean any dirt and corrosion off of the battery terminals.
If it is an LED one with dead electronics it is probably best sent back to Petzl.
Hope you get it running soon.

Hiya,
All Petzl products come with a three year warranty. ( Though you'll probably need your receipt). Though Lyon Equipment the UK importer are usually pretty good on warranties. One thing I'll say about French wiring ( not jingoistic just something I've noticed in their torches and cars over the years) is that after 12 years it just goes "on the fritz". Usually a good clean of all the contacts is enough in the torches, though on certain models the wiring loom was a little more friable due to the way it is routed.
Where are you based as I'd be happy to have a look? I'm in Perthshire.
Cheers
