Hey Anvh,

I done the update, but still, no change... it just wont flash. Do you know if there is any function that i may have possibly pressed, which may not make the flash go off, like a safety mode / function?

When I turn it on, the flash zooms forward then backward like normal. The ready light is green, and nothing happens when i press it. I have rechargeable batteries which aren't anywhere near low on power, and when I do press the ready test button, it sometimes displays all the icons on the lcd display... and I mean everything! all the mode and settings icons appear at once. I don't think this is broken when doing it, but I could be wrong.

Damn, I hope it isn't broken... but would be just my kind of luck
Thanks for the help Gareth, appreciate it.

Oh, sorry John, won't post more than once next time.

Hi Gareth,

I haven't updated the firmware, like I said, it worked 2 days ago, that was the last time I used the flash. It does not fire when I press the test button also... I could update the firmware, but not sure that will fix the problem, only say that because it worked fine the last time I used it during the week! Any other suggestions? lol

Thanks,

Jay

Hey People, no idea what has happened, my metz was working fine one day, and now, no matter what mode i put it in, whether it is attached to my camera or not, it just doesn't fire! I have a K20D which was in manual mode, and my metz was in 'M' and 'TTL' mode the other day, worked fine. The flash ready light is on signifying that the flash is ready to fire, but it doesn't. The bulb isn't broken, so i am completely lost.. does anybody have a solution that may get it to flash?? would really appreciate some assistance.

Thanks in advance.
