Recognisable symptoms and possible repair procedures
These are examples of symptoms we can investigate. A symptom can have several causes; examples are not claims of a manufacturing defect and do not apply to every model.
V1/V860: powers up but does not fire
Compare the flash test button with operation on the camera and wireless trigger. Canon, Nikon and other system versions matter for compatibility.
Our inspection approach: If the test works, we check settings, hot shoe contacts and trigger communication. If it does not, we inspect charging, the tube and control electronics.
Charging is slow or never completes
Tell us the battery, power setting, firing rate and any displayed message.
Our inspection approach: We separate battery condition and thermal protection from charging faults. Components or the tube are replaced only after measurement and testing.
Broken hot shoe or intermittent TTL
Camera contact and system compatibility are checked first.
Our inspection approach: We inspect the foot, contacts, flexible connections and communication. A damaged assembly is repaired or replaced when available. Do not open the flash because of high voltage.
Check the official Godox documentation ↗ for model-specific messages and limitations. The repair possibilities described here are our inspection approach, not manufacturer instructions for DIY repairs.
What to include in your enquiry
Send the full model name, camera mount where relevant, exact error message and when the problem occurs. Tell us about impact, liquid exposure, previous opening and any adapter or additional equipment. A short video can help explain an intermittent fault.
We first establish the cause and check the required parts. Not every model or type of damage can be repaired; we discuss options, price and an estimated turnaround before work starts.
A flash can retain high voltage after switch-off. Do not open it yourself. We assess the tube, shoe, charging and control circuits after inspection, with the correct part checked for the exact system version.
