I don't know if information technology is a coincidence or perchance this model is prone to breakdowns simply I have just received another 3200i and it volition not piece of work on either a film photographic camera or on digital (I realize it will go full flash on digital if it did work at all). The lights come on but nobody'due south home I even tried it with an OC string and zip. The camera "realizes" it's connected and on because I can't increase the shutter speed more than 1/200s. I guess the bulb is shot on both? Is that an easy fix or should I not bother. I probably can merely sell them functioning for around USD25-35 each. If there is no easy/cheap fix I suppose they could be skilful for parts...

Everyone that can help please come along.

Thanks

I have feel with Minolta 3200i wink since 1989. I oasis't seen anything that would betoken this model to exist prone to breakdowns - on the contrary. Mine has worked flawlessly for 19 years - first with analogue cameras and lately as well with my digital Dynax 7D. As you lot already know, for digital cameras you need to set the discontinuity manually - no big bargain. Yous have two power levels to choose from (the weaker level is mostly intended to speed up the recycle time to be able to shoot up to 5 fps flash pictures, I retrieve).

Bank check that the flash connectors are clean and undamaged. Also, it ought to exist possible to test if the flash tube is OK by pressing the test button.

OOOOOPS!

I just checked them out over again with some fresh batteries and lo and behold let there be lighting! How stupid of me. It came on with the batteries I used the first time only I didn't realize that the "lightning" led wasn't on.... They both work fine!

BTW thanks Swede101 but I don't run across a test button on the 3200i's??

PS Also take a 2100i that doesn't work, tried fresh batteries and nothing, no light. Checked the battery contacts and they are clean. Estimate the little 2100i is definitely head.

Then the 3200i doesn't have a test button (probably mixed it up with my Minolta 5600HS(D). I wasn't quite certain if the 3200i had a test button too, and I couldn't check it up because I am non at home now when writing this. Take no Internet connection in my flat. :-(

Glad to hear that at to the lowest degree both your 3200i's is working now!
