Repair flash board - DSC-W830 Digital camera

[tsalat]

Hi,

I have a Sone DSC-W830 which has the flash not working - the capacitor, the board itself (the power button is there) seems to work, however, it just do not trigger the flash. During inspection I found this part that seem to have suffered some damage - see the image, there is a burn mark at the top. My essential problem is that I have no idea what this part is and how to find replacement for it. The label "N1A" does not return much results.

Anyone have an idea what that part (N1A) is?

thank you and best regards, Tomas

Looks like an inductor with ferrite case. Unforzunately I too can't find what the N1A stands for.

WHY ? for . . . . . . do you think THAT inductor is bad ? and that it is EVEN BEING ASSOCIATED with the flash circuitry ?

thank you for your reply, since I am not a native speaker it took me a while to decode your message but then I noticed you are from Texas, still took me a while to decode

WHY ? for . . . . . . do you think THAT inductor is bad ?

I never said that, I have said it seems to have suffered some damage.

and that it is EVEN BEING ASSOCIATED with the flash circuitry ?

Just guessing.

Appreciate the link, there is no error code on the screen but will try the "fix" on page 16 anyway.

The ACROBAT numbering

There is not such thing as ACROBAT numbering? or? Always thought it is called pagination.

I don't wear pants while working with the soldering iron but always boxer shorts since they give the necessary degree of freedom.

thx for the reply!
