Broken 400mw O-like, need ideas to fix it

[Joe Mo]

Well, the spring inside my o-like broke off. I think it was bent when I put in a larger 18650 protected cell. Either way it broke clean off and now there is no contact with the battery. I'm thinking of buying some rare earth magnets and putting them inside? I don't know how to go about doing this. If anyone can help please let me know. I would be willing to send it to someone and pay them to fix this issue for me.

Thanks everyone!

Extract module, and solder a new spring on

Exactly what xSellize said; take out the module, solder a new spring onto it.
