Godox AD200 Pro Not Turning On

If your Godox AD200 Pro is not turning on, there could be a variety of reasons causing the issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check Battery Level: Ensure that the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the battery compartment. If the battery is drained or not properly seated, the flash might not turn on.

2. Test with Different Battery: If you have access to another fully charged battery, try inserting it into the AD200 Pro to see if the flash turns on. This can help determine if the issue is with the battery.

3. Check Battery Polarity: Make sure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity (positive and negative terminals aligned correctly). Incorrect polarity can prevent the flash from turning on.

4. Inspect Battery Contacts: Examine the battery contacts inside the battery compartment for any dirt, corrosion, or debris. Clean the contacts gently using a clean, dry cloth or a cotton swab if needed.

5. Check Battery Compartment Door: Ensure that the battery compartment door is securely closed. Some flashes have safety mechanisms that prevent them from turning on if the door is not properly closed.

6. Power Button and Switches: Make sure the power button is functioning properly and that any switches (such as a master/slave switch) are in the correct position for your intended use.

7. Try Different Power Source: If you're using an external power source (e.g., AC adapter), try a different power outlet or power source to rule out any issues with the power supply.

8. Firmware Update: Check if there is a firmware update available for your AD200 Pro. Firmware updates can sometimes address performance issues and bugs.

9. Inspect Display and Indicators: Check the display and any LED indicators for any signs of life when you try to turn on the flash. If there's no response, it could indicate a more significant issue.

Professional Assistance: If none of the above steps work and your Godox AD200 Pro still doesn't turn on, it might be best to seek professional assistance. Contact a Godox Authorised Repair Centre for further diagnosis and repair.
