Sounds a lot like the QA310 w/bounce grip 1 I have, except that the flash will
heat up and "pop" all on its own now. I can use my other QA310 on the grip
just fine, and have done so for over a year since the first problem cropped up.
Opening the flash showed visible bulging of the large cap, so you may want
to inspect your T-32...
