Thanks Bob. I don't think I've broken it. I think it's jammed up inside the flash. That seems to be the root of this problem. Others have reported the same. I will have to remove the four screws. But first I have to make or find an L-shaped screwdriver. The camera body precludes using a normal driver. Paul On Jan 27, 2008, at 10:34 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote:
