I need to change a Fujifilm flash bulb
The flash bulb in my Fujifilm Finepix F30 no longer works. I would
like to change this out myself if possible. Will someone please direct me to a website or other resource where I can find directions and parts? Thanks, Derek |

I need to change a Fujifilm flash bulb
How old is the Camera?
Sometimes it is less expensive to bin a defective digital and to replace it with new one with updated features, than repair it . "soxmax" wrote in message ...

Not under warranty?
If you are Canadian and bought the camera from an authorised Fuji dealer in
Canada after October 1 2006 then it is covered by a Fuji 3 year warranty. "soxmax" wrote in message ... The flash bulb in my Fujifilm Finepix F30 no longer works.

Thanks, Derek- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It was run over by about a dozen snowmobiles so I doubt it is covered by warranty. We had it in a scuba casing - we originally bought the camera for underwater point-and-click. The case is the big loss since it was crushed and is no longer leak proof. However, the flash bulb is the only thing that doesn't work on the camera anymore so I was hoping to just resolder or replace it. Everything else works so I am reluctant to take the camera apart without proper assembly instructions or at least a parts breakdown. I am pretty handy with the full spectrum of voltages: I was a radar tech in the military and now I'm an electrical engineer. |

Is there a common name for this light in the digital world? |

Well, at one time these thingies were called "electronic flashes" vs. "real" glass bulbs that exploded with a very bright but very short duration burst of light. Thus, they came to be known as "flash bulbs" and came in literally dozens of sizes and shapes. Perhaps simply saying that your camera's flash quit and let it go at that or perhaps call it what some camera makers call a "speed light". -- HP, aka Jerry "Surely you jest - and don't call me Shirley!" - from the movie "Airplane!" |

Is there a common name for this light in the digital world? Flash bulbs are one-use bulbs that "explodes" when fired. Those were popular 40 years ago. Modern flash uses xenon flash tube. They come in all sorts of sizes. I don't know how easy it is to get the right one without getting it from Fuji. Or you can try to buy a broken camera of the same model and take the flash tube out of it. |

Fair enough. I won't call it the flash because that can be confused with the flash memory in the camera. The flash memory in the camera is what contains the camera's firmware and software. In my industry when we say "the system's flash" it is referring to the flash memory. "Speed light" just sounds silly. I think I like "electronic flash" but that could still be confused with flash memory. Do you think "flash tube" is okay? |

Thanks, Derek There could be a fault any where in the Flash Circuit, rather than just the Flash Tube. Roy G |
