Fried electronics on YS90dx

I just sent in 2 YS90DX strobes to underwatercamerarepair, and the verdict was that the main board on both of them was partly fried. It showed itself in the strobe not firing every few shots, or doing a full dump even when set to -7. Mike couldnt really tell us why it happened, but I suspect my D2x wiring (which causes the image saving issue). Anyone else seen these types of more serious issues with their YS90DX strobes? (it didnt flood)

..........................................AS LONG AS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVVING THE SAME ISSUE

I have a number of YS90 DX , DUO , Auto strobes ( these are our standard rental strobe - approx 20 in rental ) that have developed an intermittent firing problem similar to what you are describing. About 6 have developed this issue. Non of these strobes had been flooded.

It is highly likely that they have been connected to my D2X. ( since replaced with ever reliable Inon Z220 strobes.)

They are actually at Sea & Sea in Japan getting appraised at the moment ( Sea & Sea's local agent has a new policy and boxes things and sends to Japan for repair ) ( 3 MONTHS SO FAR )

I will keep you posted on the final determination.

This is strange, I have absolutely no problem with my Ikelite strobes. Alex, what happened to your Subtronics? Electronic problems or flooding? Cor, keep us posted.
