Are you only testing via CyberSync? If so, try the test button on the light itself. Then test by the test button of the reciever connected to the light. then test by the CST transmitter. Know at which point the "two flashes only" problem starts will let us pin point the problem.

Also, take a look at the transmitter when you press the test button. If the LED blinks red three times or does not blink at all, the battery is dead/dying and is likely the cause.

While i was checking we had 2 more lights at the location they would fire and i had changed the batteries in the CSTs before the event. We tried hooking the light directly with a pc cord to the camera and it did the same thing would have to turn it off and turn it back on to fire again.

If it will fire from the test button (with CSR+ disconnected) it's likely the sync connection or a fault in the sync jack. If it won't, the unit is defective.

Another remote possibility is that the CSR+ has received and remembered a disable command from a Cyber Commander somehow. TS (David) can help you with this scenario.

But you say it does the same thing with a direct sync cord . . . this would rule out CSR+ problems. Sometimes the 1/8" sync jack on the Bee can get flakey . . . try inserting and reinserting the sync cord . . . it should flash each time you do this.

Sorry for the pesky problems.
