White Lightning X3200 and Vegabond Mini So,I'm out shooting today and about 20 min into my shoot,I hear a loud pop come from the strobe. I check everything out and it seems to be ok. Then,I hit the test button to see if it fires,no fire. So,I start thinking the flash tube blew. I check the flash tube and it seems like it has blown. Dark color right at the beginning of the tube. The strobe is still on and running cause I can hear the fan working. End of shoot. I get home and check everything again. I plug it into the wall,turn on the power,and it still runs but still no flash. I check the modeling lamp...no modeling lamp either. Anyone with a similar experience or might know what's going on. Please chime in because I'm over here starting to panic. |

Dark areas near the flash tube are normal. However, it does sound like a problem in the head. Likely a capacitor of some sort. |
