Hi,
maybe somebody from Ikelite reads this (I emailed them separately) or one of you guys have had the same problem?
I just bought a DS 125 substrobe (second hand but quite new), and used it for two dives before it stopped working.
The strobe seemed to charge fine, then in the middle of a dive it just stopped working, no red lights came on. On land I opened it and there seems to be no leak anywhere, The test light works fine, but even though completely charged, the red ready-lights do not come on and there is no sound of the system firing up at all, completely quiet.
When I shake it around a little bit, there seems to be something lose in the strobe's head. Not the bulbs, but just inside where they are attached.
I guess the answer is to send it back to the US but I use this for work and live on a remote island in the Philippines, so any "try this yourself" tricks would be greatly appreciated.
