do you have more then one pack? does this happen with the others?  possibly try firing another pack with the pocket wizard and a slave in the one that only fires one head with it.  I have those Normans and have no problem firing all the heads in the pack with my Pocket Wizard.

I only have one pack and 3 heads at the moment. I did test all of the heads on another pack and they fired so I don't see it being a lamphead issue. I think it has to be the pack. According to the person I bought it from he used it regularly and pulled it out to fire it every week or so. It did work on Saturday with no problem using a sync cord.

Did you try just the synch cord to camera then let the heads fire off the main? Mine works that way. But you have a different head.

I have a Norman 2000d pack for my studio and several LH 2000 lampheads.

They all have flashbulbs that work and every port on the pack works, when I push the test button.

Here is the problem when I connect a pocket wizard, sync cord or wein LH sync to it only one head will fire. I have tried several configurations but it seems to only fire the lamphead plugged into the first port on both sides.

does anyone have this pack? has anyone had a problem with like this? I have a place to send it to but would like to see if I anyone can suggest anything that might work.

Thanks

Yes i had the problem before flip the pocket wizard cord at the power pack

Then test each head by itself. see if that helps

out walking the dog but will try it when I get home. What would it look like if I burned out the flash head?

I hope this works I love the simple fixes the best

A guy i work with has a 2000 and 4 heads. he has one port taped off cause if he plugs in 3 or more they all don't fire. He told me that it happened once before and his repair guy fixed it for something like $100. good luck.

Any chance you can ask him for his repair guys number I have someone here in PA but he told me 3 weeks if I send it in.

Just saying, not usually relevant but the synch cord and its connection is usually always the weakest part of the whole system. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many times that has messed up my day over the years.

Sync cord now works but only one flash pops

If the power is on split. You many have a bank of capacitors that are not firing.

If it is on combine you may not be getting full power.

how would i fix this? Someone told me to leave it on for an hour then fire the flash a few time another hour then fire the flash etc.

How would I tell if it is on split or combine?

I have a P2000D, 3 heads, and 2 PW's.  I have the same symptom when either of my PW's have batteries with less than 50% full juice.  REPLACE THE BATTERIES and try again.

If the symptoms are not occuring with the TEST BUTTON, then I would strongly suspect the triggering mechanisms.  Sync chords are also notorious for issues.  Alleviate your headaches by rotating out each piece of the triggering chain and re-testing.
