Post subject: | Vagabon Mini 220V surge ?? |
Hi, i got a problem with my VM. I can start it. All the green leds are OK. But when i plug my Einstein640, with the OEM wire, the einstein doesn't start. I can only start it if i add an adaptator between to VM and the OEM wire. Once the Einstein started, i can't get the green "ready" on the LCD panel, and i can't pop the flash. On the adaptator between the VM and the OEM wire, there are leds. One of those indicate a "surge" error. Any suggestion ? Thank you, Teiki. |

It is likely a fault in the battery pack itself. Do you have another battery pack to swap into the unit to see if the problem persists? Do you have a different flash to try? Does the adapter allow the light to work properly? I think the "surge" indicator is not abnormal, as the recycle power draw of the light can be rather high and sudden, and is often confused as a surge by monitoring devices. This does not mean there is not a problem, but this is probably not an indicator. |
