Upon examination with magnifier it appeared that the springy side contact on the flash wasn't coming all the way out, missing by maybe half a millimeter. So, I opened up the foot and found I had to utterly disassemble it to get to that contact. Springs flew, tiny screws rolled into the carpet, a wire broke off and had to be resoldered. Eventually fixed and reassembled. Now pushing the test button or taking a shot makes the orange charged light blink. But the strobe no longer fires. It was fine the day before. %}%^! Pretty sure problem isn't in the foot. I think I somehow broke a connection inside the flash body. Murphy's Law. Dunno if I'll tackle that. Thanks all for your thoughts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
