A viewer called Steve asked if I'd be able to have a look at his Bowens Gemini GM500 Pro photographers studio flash unit that wasn't working correctly. He had already sent it to the official repairer but was told that the part wasn't available any more. Let's see if we can do any better and hopefully repair it!

I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy trying to fix things.
