hi everyone! i have sunpak pz5000af i use for three happy years. but two days ago i couldnt change iso setting because there're only two values - 6400 and 6 (the rest positions were blank when i turned wheel) without attaching to camera.
is there a way to fix it replacing internal battery or resetting by some pins bridge or whatever? i dont remember if i drop or hit it. night before it worked just fine - i made couple hundreds shots.
i wrote to tocad america about this problem but i'm not sure they'd answer me or sending the unit to service would be as expensive as buying a new one at bh.
its so simple and powerful flash so i dont care its e-ttl incompatiblity. its a pity to say goodbye to this flash.
is it hopeless?

I have one for sale that is mint and works fine. contact me if interested. I can't understand the lack of interest in such a great flash for cheap.

hey! i agree its fantastic flash. its got fixed after connecting to my 10d again. now its in my studio and works as a slave for backdrop light.
not planning to buy another one at the moment.
hope you'd have an offer from some strobist.
regards
