Flooded flash connector

4 posts
  1. Hello,

     

    I have flooded my strobe connector on my ikelite 7D, because I had not tightened the connector enough. And now is it cover in white lime of some sort.

    Do someone has a trick to clean it. Because now the connector sometimes works and sometime not.

     

    Regards,

    marc

  2. You may have to replace the connector, Marc. But it's worth having a go cleaning with diluted white vinegar. That sometimes works and is easy to get from a supermarket.

     

    Good luck!

  3. Vinegar and a tiny toothbrush should clean it up, or you can use some electrical contact cleaner.

  4. Thanks for tip, a toothbrush and some vinegar solved the problem.
