Well, this is very interesting.
Is this permanent? how do you control the light? have you made tests about light duration and heating?

it is permanent,you can control the light with a little switch which have two circuit.

i have not test about it, i refer the datasheet of the flashlight IC lm3551 which E2 used.

Wow...that's cool.But I'm waiting something like mpkg to make our flashlight like E398.That will be amazing as our E2 has a very shining flashlight.

i think so.
use software to make it.

Not worth the risk doing the hardware mod, rather use a software to control it...

modify the hardware is better than use the software,you can download the datasheet of the lm3551 and read it ,then you'll know why

Hi all
well, I checked the datasheet... according to its information, the modification may work: forcing T_F and SD pins to GND puts the LM3551 into  low power torch mode (Flashlight); the LM3551 has a thermal shutdown circuit (wich helps a lot Cheesy).
LM3551 also has a timeout function (Flash timeout protection). According to the datasheet, you must ground the FTO pin to disable it... but still I see the C466 capacitor in the circuit diagram...

I'm sure this moddification can work if we send the FTO pin to ground directly (removing C466 and putting a short circuit instead), sending SD pin to GND (ground, just like the circuit diagram that rzd4evr posted) and making a well-written mpkg application who switches the flash signal between 0/0V/GND (torch on) and 1/V+ (torch off).
