so, i m not alone...
two gears down today..

mine and ed =.=

but his is really O.o

so many 'layers' to buka !

Go to hardware store or electronics shop. Buy a big can of non conductive electronics grade Contact Cleaner spray. Spray everything liberally. I mean really, really spray it like there's no 2moro. Spray until u see the contact cleaner streaming off ur flash components like pipe water. Spray every single component especially the pcb board. Then leave everything to dry nicely. After that get another can of Contact Cleaner that comes with protective oil. Spray everything again n it will leave a nice protective layer to protect against corrosion later on. U need to do this or else the components will corrode n good bye.

Most electronic stuff can survive drops into water if u remove the batts immediately. It's how u treat it after wards that determines how long it can live after that.

Guys,

Anyone of you have used Maha Powerex rechargeable batteries or not? Is it good?

I am looking for new rechargables as my Energizers are dying. I'm thinking of getting Sanyo Enerloop but I still need a charger and it seems that the Maha charger are good and compatible with the enerloop. Anyone with experience?

Buy eneloop the BEST. I ahve tried so many different types n Eneloop is the undisputed heavy weight champion of the world. laugh.gif I love it so much that everything in my house is now powered by Eneloop, even the Astro remote. Hehe.

I especially love it in the flash. U can leave it in there forever, pick it up even 1 year later n just start flashing away. Undoubtedly the best. Cheap too. I bought from Singapore for only rm50 for pack of 4. Then my friend importing it now at rm50+ oso. PM me for his contact if u want.
