Godox V1 Flash Tube Replacement
This prepaid repair service replaces a damaged or failed flash tube in a Godox V1 or compatible Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 round-head speedlight.
Important: This repair is for the original V1. It does not cover the V1Pro or V100, which use different components and require separate repair services.
This repair is appropriate for:
- The speedlight powers on but will not fire
- No E1, E3, E5 or other error code is displayed
- The flash tube is visibly cracked, blackened or damaged
- The speedlight fires intermittently because of a failing flash tube
A no-fire condition can also be caused by the flash-head assembly, main drive board, capacitor or another internal component. If our inspection shows that a different repair is required, we will contact you before performing additional work.
What the repair includes
- Replacement of the flash tube
- Installation and complete functional testing
- Testing of flash output and recycling
- A repair report when the work is complete
- A six-month warranty covering the replaced flash tube
- Return shipping from MoLight to you
The repair warranty applies to the flash tube replaced during this service. It does not cover unrelated components or a different failure that may develop later.
What to send
Send only the main Godox V1 or compatible Flashpoint speedlight body.
- Do not send the battery
- Do not send the charger
- Do not send the case, stand, modifiers or other accessories
- Do not send additional items unless we specifically request them
Pack the speedlight securely, paying particular attention to protecting the round flash head and LCD. Use a shipping service that provides tracking.
