External power source bypasses the grip electronics and dumps 200v directly
into the flash capacitor (I think). I see my share of BG2 for repair.

Subject: [OM] Another overheating Bracket 2
| I just picked up an Olympus flash bracket - but the seller indicated that
it
| seemed to get warm with batteries - so he offered it to me for $10. I
| bought some other things from him and took a chance (for $10 - what the
| hey!). Anyway, I remembered a few days ago someone else was have a
problem
| with a flash bracket overheating. Can anyone tell me if these can be
| repaired, if necessary? How about John from Camtech - can you fix these -
| or are they generally worth repairing? I was told it worked fine with an
| external power source - it only got warm with batteries.
