Ok I have two norstar flash and 3 softwares(2.0, 2.0, and 1.7) on hand.
I initially had one flash with 2.0 and the other flash with 1.7. I was curious if my extra software was in working condition so I swapped it with the flash that had the 1.7 in it, but it didnt work, nothing came up after dialing f983 or f903. So i assumed this 2.0 software is bad, but I really wanted to know that its bad before I threw it away so I put the "bad" 2.0 software in the flash with the 2.0 software. It worked fine.
So I borrowed a 1.9 and 1.5 software from a friend and put it in the flash where the 2.0 software didnt work. The 1.9 still didnt work with the flash, so I put in the 1.5 software and it worked fine. I then inserted the original 1.7 software and it still worked fine.
So my question is, why is my flash 1.7 only reading softwares that are 1.7 or lower? Is the capacitor in the flash faulted?
I have tried the auto attendant trick (inserting 1.7 or lower then pulling power cord during "resetting" to get AA back) thinking it would up me to use the 2.0 software in it, but it didnt work.
Thanks in advace.
