Sorry, I don't have any notes on this problem. Clint might.

Subject: [OM] T32 repair advice needed
| Hi,
|
| Well, some interesting news...
|
| I got a very good deal from Lars Bundesen on a broken PBG2 and a broken
T32.
| I knew beforehand that both items were broken and they were priced
| accordingly, so I took the gamble.
|
| I have not regretted this, as Jaap informed me yesterday that he managed
to
| fix the PBG2 (which is the piece I was most interested in from this deal),
| so I already got my money's worth.
|
| Then, regarding the T32 the story is a bit more complicated, but the
problem
| which it has sounds very much like something I think has been treated
before
| on the list: Jaap told me that the T32 seems to charge fine, the "flash
| charged" LED lights up, but then when pressing the "test" button, the
| control LED does blink, but the flash does not discharge. The way I
| understood it from Jaap, the flash doesn't get triggered by a camera
either
| (not with a T Cord, nor directly from the camera). It seems to be the case
| that _only_ pressing the "test" button has some effect (but not a
| discharge). As mentioned, I think I've seen a query for such a problem
| before on this list. Does anyone (in particular John Hermanson) have any
| idea as to the following:
| -Where the fault resides (thyristor, capacitor, flash tube, other...)?
| -If this is easily fixable?
| -How to fix this?
| -Which parts would be needed?
| -Other things I'm perhaps overlooking?
|
| Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Replies are welcome both on
list
| and off list, but I think this is an interesting topic, so perhaps it
might
| be best to keep the list in on this...
|
| Cheers!
| Olafo
