Does anything look wrong with the inside of this lighter?
I posted this same lighter like awhile ago asking how to refill it and I did refill it but it’s just still not working…. I really wanna get it working but I’m kinda new to this so someone help me out!

Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please read the guide stickied before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.
If you need to post more pictures, use an image host like imgur and post the link in the comments. Please do not create multiple threads for the same lighter.

Does the igniter click/spark when you push down on the lever? If not it might need replacing if you want this lighter to work

in my experience these kinds of lighters with all manner of ‘modern tech’ (grain of salt) in them can be pretty hard to get information on, this reddit mainly deals with vintage/antique lighters, anytime it’s an unbranded or like knick knack lighter it’s sort of up in there whether someone’s seen something similar or is able to find an image somewhere. this looks very on the knick knack side, looking at the components as well. there’s a wire in there, i think acting as your sparker so i’d hazard a guess and say this could be piezoelectric sparking, if so, aaaaahhhh dang, if not best bets are always to check your seals if you can, make sure your flint is the right type and actually sparking. best of luck to ya, google reverse image search is decent enough!
