I recently purchased a pair of used ys 01 strobes for my Indonesia trip. I'm now in Lembeh and have had a week of great diving with them. Half way through a dive today one of them shut down. Back at the lodge I looked a little closer. The battery compartment is completely dry, but freshly charged batteries will not power the strobe. The red light never comes on and I can't hear the telltale charging noise. If I put the strobe to my ear when I switch it on, I can hear strange/ garbled electronic noises from inside. Any advice? Is this a known issue? Is this strobe dead?
