Replacement of Minolta flash-bulb

feryl · 14th December 2004

Hi guys,

I have a 3500xi flash, which may be having some problems... it switches on fine but doesn't 'flash' all the time, even when I set it on fill-flash...

As there is no test button, I'm unable to ascertain for sure if the bulb is burning out... but in case it is, what is estimated cost to replace the bulb of the 3500xi? And where shld I go to get it done?

Thanks!

Actually, I found out that the bulb is ok... but somehow the flash doesn't shoot everytime... i wonder what's wrong.

Any idea how much it wld cost for them to take a look and diagnose the problem? I bought my flash for $50, so if it cost more than that... i may just buy another one.
