One of my X3200 lights isn't working. I plug it in to AC and the green ready light comes on, then begins a series of slowly blinking. Blinks once about every ten seconds or so. when I push the "dump/test" button it only beeps at me. No flash. I tried the low power setting and still no Pop. The modeling light is working fine. There are no triggers plugged in. All my other X3200 units will fire every time I hit the red test button. What's up? Should I open it up and start poking around inside with a steel screwdriver to see if I can get it to do something?

swap flash tubes with a known good light. If the problem persists with the light, it will likely need to come in. If the problem follows the tube, a new flashtube will fix the problem.

Dang you're good. Definitely the tube. I was afraid the thing was fried and I'd have to send it in. I"ll order a new tube tomorrow.
