One of my YS-01 strobes keeps recharging when it's switched off...
If you turn the switch to off, the ready light goes out, it doesn't function when triggered by the cameras flash thru the optical fibre... BUT it recharges every 30 minutes or so, you hear the whine of the capacitors charging up...
I notices something was up after going to use the strobes after a couple of days gap, and one wasn't working, it turned out that it was just the batteries being flat... Then that night noticed the recharge whine when i was in bed.
It's all bone dry and never flooded, so it's a bit strange.
Any ideas?
