timreaves Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I picked up an Adorama Flashpoint 620 strobe that does not function properly. When it powers on, it takes a while to build up a charge to flash. When it does flash, it takes a while to recharge again. Furthermore, I cannot fire the flash at more than 1/2 power. Any insight, assistance or constructive advice is appreciated. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_wong2 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 When you say picked up do you mean buying new from Adorama or found one used somewhere? If it is a used unit that you pciked up it has probably been sitting around too long and the capacitors has gone bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timreaves Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yep, it was used and picked up from an auction site. Is it price- worthy to try to have it repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
