This is real! I tried it now and it works, thank you for sharing this awesome thoughts.

I'm glad I could help you!

Bro from where i can buy this new flash light

[@randomthingch1970]

I thought this will be complicated but its relatively easy to do because my Nikon D3300 Flash just died Thanks for the tutorial

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Glad it helped!

[@randomthingch1970]

Hey, Update Here!! so I just try to fix my camera, I got my replacement it's from an old Samsung camera(turns out it's too big), I prepared myself but at unsoldering the flash on of the cable just arcing to my pliers and to the flash so I get scared to broke my camera so I just put it back then hoping the camera still works, the camera is still working but it fixes my Flash !! I have never been so happy this year God Thanks For your Video !!! Bless You

Thank YOU!

[@mikaleka]

Thanks for the great video. I would just like a clarification: the gray and orange threadconnect on the lamp; how to recognize the anode and the catodo and what is the correspondence? Thank you!

[@ElectronicsComputers]

The internal part of negative terminal is usually bigger than the positive one. And the trigger terminal is usually located in closer to the negative one. You can use a multimiter to identify the polarity of the wires on a camera or speed light.

You saved my money. Thanks bro

[@langowski007]

Hello :) Great instructional video! I will start repairing the flash in Leica Af-c1. The camera resets as if the load that should be discharged creates a short circuit in the software. So I will buy, according to what I read in the comments, the appropriate length of the lamp so that it fits and I will try to mount it :) And if I'm wrong, please 🙏 give me some advice. Thank you very much and best regards 👍 😀 Krzysztof

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Make sure that the new lamp has very similar size and the same amount of terminals (2-or 3).

Hi! can be a solution for Canon eos70d?

[@sivisoko5798]

yes

[@TripleDeano]

Is there a way to make the pop up flash active when just released from its seat? Normally, it only flashes when in the fully upright position. The reason is that I wish to have my camera flash inside my underwater housing in order to activate my two remote strobes.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

You need to modify/bypass a close/open state sensor. Usually it's a mechanical one it looks like a button. Depends on the model if you solder its terminals together the flash will work constantly at any angle.

[@TripleDeano]

I have the Nikon D7200. Is this mechanical sensor or button easily accessible? Once the terminals are connected, will it flash even if latched closed/ down? Thank you!

[@MaximusPanin]

How to check the lamp operability by removing it from the camera ?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

It's impossible! It's just a glass pipe with two terminals and some gas inside. No resistance, capacity no nothing

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

Wow! I really wish I had better soldering skills, I don't think I would attempt this... I ended up buying a hot shoe flash instead (speedlite)

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Also, a pretty good solution.

[@mikevgpt3504]

I have an old canon t6s that has a non functioning flash. When it’s supposed to fire it just makes this zapping noise from the light tube area. It’s not that old and I’ve never used the flash on it so imo it shouldn’t be broke. It’s my old camera so it’s not a huge deal but I would like to fix it so I can sell it. I will probably take the flash apart soon to see if I can do it.

[@rochkimph7199]

Does it work in Nikon d40?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Basically, it's the same process for almost all DSLR cameras.

[@GameKeyModSquad-hr4ln]

hello do you use any doner flash?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Sure! You can use any flash tube from any camera that you can physically fit inside. Just make sure you don't reverse the anode and cathode terminals.

[@GameKeyModSquad-hr4ln]

@@ElectronicsComputers thank you. i didn't know i flash blub are like capasitor where it need to be certaion voltage and wattage I'll give it a shot !

[@GameKeyModSquad-hr4ln]

@@ElectronicsComputers what does black tube do?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

@@GameKeyModSquad-hr4ln If you look inside the tube, you'll notice that one terminal is bigger and one is smaller. The bigger one is the cathode, or negative terminal. I'm not sure what you mean by "black tube." Old flash tubes become black inside when they are about to die or are already faulty

[@zeijus3178]

Any advice for nikon n6006? My flash is dead I think

[@ElectronicsComputers]

The links for spare flash tubes in the description. You cal also use any flash tube from a cheap film camera. The most difficult part is to figure out how to disassemble the camera. those tubes have positive and negative terminals, make sure to solder them correctly.

[@zeijus3178]

​@@ElectronicsComputers the links for the spares don't work

[@ElectronicsComputers]

what about the trigger terminal sir, u have not connected it.

[@ramzani_r7024]

Sir, I found 3 wire on flashtube canon 600d can you explain ?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

all flash tubes have three wires. Two wires from each side of your tube go to capacitor and the third wire which goes to the side of the tube is high voltage trigger. Sometimes that third wire is soldered to the tube sometimes not. In my case it's the black wire which is attached to to the top of the tube.

[@thenagabucketlist]

Hi I wanted to fix one of my Nikon Camera!!! So are all the flash tube of Nikon camera same or different. Please help

[@ElectronicsComputers]

They are almost all the same. The difference can be only in its dimensions. the links for the tubes in the description.

[@iyaminsaikh8578]

Sir, I have a nikon coolpix L31 camera and there is a flash problem. How can i fix it plz help me. Plz reply...

[@ElectronicsComputers]

If the problem in the tube you can easily replace it. The links in the description. If the problem with electronics then it's unreal job without proper tools and experience.

[@jeejay8080]

Bro what is that black colour wire? I ve just try to sleeve it it cuts to small. I have to replace it with normal wire? Please reply

[@ElectronicsComputers]

That black wire is trigger for the flash. Trigger pulse goes to a metal plate around the glass tube. It's fully isolated wire without stripped ends.

[@jeejay8080]

THANKS SIR

[@ihsandeeb]

Hello, does it matter what kind of camera I need to have in order to get a light tube for my pop up flash? I have a T5i and the flash bulb popped! So the bulb is completely shattered

[@ElectronicsComputers]

The camera brand or model doesn't matter! The only thing that matters is the size of the flash tube. It should be about the same size +/- 1-2mm.

[@brianpolinio2394]

what if the flash is half open?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Maybe the spring is broken or some stuff like garbage or wires stuck somewhere.

[@1990Ras]

I went out and bought a disposable camera $16 to break apart and get bulb, I was able to get the bulb and successfully make connection, but it was until the end I notice I don't have the extra wire that is wrapped around build to complete connections, I'm not sure what that part is called

[@1990Ras]

I believe its the trigger wire? is it possible for me to add that trigger wire to build to solder it to 3rd wire from camera? or should I look for a bulb that already has the wire

[@ElectronicsComputers]

What camera model/brand are you trying to fix? As you can see in my case there's also no third wire. The trigger wire is simply attached close to the tube and that's enough to make it work. Speedlight tubes have that third terminal. but you can simply wrap the wire (make one coil turn) around the tube.

[@1990Ras]

@@ElectronicsComputers im fixing Canon T3i, I have some spare wire here, ill try use that to wrap around tube, then solder it together to trigger wire coming from camera, hopefully now wire I use to wrap around tube stays in place
