I've had another look inside mine ... the metal part you compare to a hair clip normally rests against the contact with a degree of spring tension. Closing the hood moves it forward to break the contact. It springs back freely when the hood is opened or removed - there is no second "rest" position. The spring action seems to reside in the curved central part of the "hairgrip" which engages with the slot of what looks like a small screw in the white plastic block. Has this come adrift? Otherwise I can't suggest how to restore the correct action. |
