Introduction
Use this guide to discharge the flash's capacitor in your Polaroid I-2 camera.
The capacitor stores energy for the flash, and it can maintain that energy for a while—enough that letting the capacitor passively discharge is unrealistic for repairs. Because of this, you need to use a capacitor discharge tool to drain the capacitor before handling the exposed main board.
Your [link|https://www.amazon.com/capacitor-discharge-tool/s?k=capacitor+discharge+tool|capacitor discharge tool|new_window=true] should be rated for at least 330 volts. Alternatively, or you can follow [guide|2177|this guide|new_window=true] to make your own capacitor discharge tool.
