Hello, I am less than half way thru my dive vacation in Turks and Caicos. I have used my housing, focus light, and strobe on 7 dives so far this trip. Yesterday my strobe would not turn on during 2nd dive. I noticed on the front of the strobe in the tiny lower light area a little fogging. I turned it off and surfaced. When I got back to the cottage, I dried everything off and opened the battery area of the Sea&Sea YS-01 strobe and there was no water, not even condensation. I took the batteries out and left it open till this morning. I put new batteries, energizer lithium, in and closed it up. (O-ring is in good shape and greased perfect) I closed the back of the strobe up and did not turn it on. It made a high pitch quiet squeal, like if the strobe was on. I opened it back up and the batteries are super hot. All the contacts look great, the strobe is in great shape, about 45 dives using it.
Any suggestions on what is happening and how I can fix this? Thxs.
