Colin Purrington<p>Anyone have experience repairing Canon flashes? I fried the bulb last year and was hoping I could just swap in a new one. But after taking it apart the soldering looks a little beyond my skill level. Also read that one should discharge the capacitor, a word that I know but I'm not sure how one does that. It's a 600EX-RT. Ten years old. Alternatively, can anyone suggest a replacement, ideally one that accepts feed from an external battery pack? Because I have a birthday next week and I've been good. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/camera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camera</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/ExternalFlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExternalFlash</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/flash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flash</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/canon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canon</span></a></p>
