My Flash fell into the water.

TOUGEFC · 06-30-2011, 12:57 AM

Ok I was lazy and took my time before I took it to CR Kennedy to get it fixed, it was still under warranty and I took in my receipt from B&H and they said that it will be covered by International Warranty

That was about 3 weeks ago, today my flash unit returned home and was fixed by warranty!

And it works perfect , I actually think it works better than before now with the K-5......

Oh and this is the service report for anyone thats interested:

No, I just told them the problem. I would have paid for it to be fixed anyway if they would fix it under warranty.

great to hear you fixed the problem. they might have upgraded the firmware as well and that might be why it works better
