I am a total noob and could really use a hand with this problem.
The back story is that I put together a camera system that people use to take pictures of eyes at fairly high resolution. It is a hobby - second income - kind of fun thing to do that fulfills some peoples needs. I make money, but not so much.
I've been doing it for 15 years and over time have used 4-5 different manufactured flashes and modded them with fiber optics to transfer the flash of light to the iris for really stunning images.
Everything has worked great until I purchased 50 of a new flash from China.
Problem is this new flash will work for a while and then some units become intermittent and may stop flashing altogether. This is very bothersome to everyone.
I am at a loss to diagnose as I am really not a technician, but I am technical enough to be able to follow directions.
I am hoping maybe someone here can recommend the most likely culprits and potential fixes or maybe offer to be paid to diagnose the flaw so I or they can fix the remaining flashes I have.
I have just been replacing the faulty units, but it is getting troublesome for me and them.
If you could please shed some light on this I would appreciate it. Thanks
I've included a picture of the final product to get an idea of what it looks like.
Basically, all I am doing is opening up the case, and attaching a thin aluminum plate to the front that holds the fiber optics in place and then closing it back up again.
I have never had a problem with other companies products and I am careful not to dislodge anything inside.
I would just bite the bullet and buy another unit, but the aesthetics fo this one works so well if it worked mechanically I would be very happy.
Thanks for any help with this you can offer.
