Go Holga - Possible Flash Fix For Holga Camera

[hossrex]

Everyone should open their Holga, and take a look inside. All you need is a TINY phillips head screwdriver.

As long as you don't do anything silly, you'll be fine, and understanding what's going on when you press your little shutter release lever can actually make a world of difference.

Hi! Batteries accidentally leaked inside my 120FN. Now flash doesnt work. Cleaned the contacts and all and threw in a new set of batteries but it still doesnt work. Do you have any tips on what else to do? For the meantime i still use it outdoors/daytime. Thanks in advance

@testtubeless

It's a remarkably simple piece of "electronics". Open her up, clean her, and IF NECESSARY... you might need to resolder some contacts (don't do that unless you're comfortable with the idea).

@testtubeless i have the exact problem, did you find a solution for this one? thanks!

[testtubeless]

@anclozano til now my flash is not working. I tried cleaning it. But i guess i really have to open it up soon.

my flash isn't working. does it mean i have to open my camera and do as you did?

[Goholga]

no, it says 'possible' flash fix. Its something you can try but it doesn't mean it will work. Thanks
