#328847 Forgot to affix strobe cap to Ikelite housing for a dive...

I did the same thing. Got under to find the cable and housing not connected.

There was some corrosion/missing plating on the pins, presumably electrolytic action. I just flushed well with fresh water, dried thoroughly and put a smear of copper grease on the pins to ensure a good contact in the future. 

 

Still working fine 3 years later :)

Yes, that's normal. Its the inverter working hard charging the empty capacitor. You can also hear it after a powerful flash.
