Hi Charles, Your best bet is to replace the flash. The problem is the capacitors inside the flash are probably faulty or it could also be a circuit board that is overheating. FYI THIS COULD DO DAMAGE TO THE T90!!! And also could shock the living daylights out of you if you touch the wrong spot. The flash is toast. Getting a new 300 should be EZ. And don't bother w/ repairs, they are usually temporary and cost more thatn the flash is worth.
