Just received two Einstein units, including a cyber commander and two CSXCV's. Both units were working fine for +-35-40 flashes. The modeling lamp on #2 was originally set at 'sync model power with flash output'. At random it bumped the lamp to about 1/2 power and will not turn off. It will increase in output to full, but will not go below half power. Thought it might be the CC so I removed its battery. Also removed the CSXCV with no change. Also unplugged power from wall outlet for +-30 seconds. The flash appears fine. One other comment, the modeling lamp power bar stays about 2 stops below the flash bar when you adjust the flash output. Not sure what to do next? I read a similar post where it could be related to a pocket wizard, but since I have a CC I'm not sure. The other Einstein appears to be working fine (for now). Thanks for your help in advance.

After removing the CSXCV and leaving it out did you press the easy set button to see if everything returned to working order?

Pressed easy set wo/ CSXCV... no change in modeling lamp. Does reset other functions like its supposed to. Any other suggestions???

This unit will have to come in for service.
