I have moved the slider up and down, no difference. Also the little green ready light is not lit. Can the flash tubes slowly be going bad, or do they either work or not? Thanks in advance. Stephen.

They're charging probably to about 20% of what they're supposed to. Ready light comes on when the comparator circuit reads the caps are full.... and that ain't hapnin.
