Phooey! My Sunpak flooded.

Since it's October and the warranty has run out on my Sunpak, I'm just counting the dives before it too becomes a soggy Christmas ornament . It has surprised me so far, I worked it hard this summer giving it every excuse to fail. It will probably fl**d when least expected and most needed .

Sorry yours went belly up Larry.

I'm not familiar with the Sunpak, but most strobes have a sealed battery compartment. It's happened to me before. All you do is rise out the compartment, clean the corrosion off the contacts with a pencil eraser and try it again with new batteries.

I tried that with the first flood I had, lucky that it was under warranty at the time.
This is a VERY inexpensive strobe and it does not have a sealed compartment, not even the door seals well .
