Question

Answer 1

If you mail it to Zippo, they will fix it for free.
From their website:
"The World Famous Zippo Guarantee

"Zippo Windproof Pocket Lighter
"Any Zippo lighter, when returned to our factory, will be put in first-class mechanical condition free of charge, for we have yet to charge a cent for the repair of a Zippo lighter, regardless of age or condition. The finish, however, is not guaranteed.

"This guarantee gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary state to state. Other Zippo products carry their own specific warranties."

Answer 2

I have sent several lighters back with the same problem. Zippo has about the best warranty of anybody or company in the world.

Contact the web site and then mail the lighter to their repair dept. and they will weld in a new hinge, and even provide a new lighter part. They will mail it back to you with a little key chain that has a penny in it, and give you a couple of flints to get you going.

The ligher has to be out of fluid when you send it, or the mail will not deliver it, so let the lighter dry out.

good luck.

Answer 4

As it's been 8 years do you think greyguy has figured out that there are other uses for a lighter than lighting cigarettes, and possibly stopped being an idiot? Prognosis ...doubtful.

Answer 5

Zippo Multi Purpose Lighter

Answer 6

I don't know about Singapore, but they used to service them here in America. See if they have a website, and send it to them.

Answer 7

Your wisest choice would be to quit smoking and throw the lighter away.
