Switch failed after a few months - SureFire Scout Light Weapon Light Switch Assembly w/Tape-On Pressure Pad

Purchased this Surefire tailcap for my Arisaka Defense light and it worked GREAT for almost 6 months! Shortly after, the pressure pad works just fine. If you click the button on the back of the tailcap, it just does not work anymore.

Press and hold, nothing happens.
Press once, nothing happens.
Took it off, cleaned it, fresh Surefire CR123a batteries...nothing happens.
Only the pressure pad works, unfortunately.

Very disappointed because the cost is soo high, it's USA made, and its supposed to be "battle proven" and fails after a few months.
Hopefully Surefire will warranty it, but my hopes are low as they dont warranty switches and painting your light could be marked a "unauthorized modification" but i will update review if i hear back from them.
