[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 738476, member: 10543"] Yay -- I finally got the flash popped up using a technique in a YouTube video where a thin plastic strip is inserted in the gap around the flash housing and worked around until it trips the hook that holds the flash down. It's not as easy as in the video, but after a dozen tries I finally got it. I find that my flash still works. I need to find out why the hook won't activate as it should. The hook is mechanically linked to the flash housing I think and if I nearly close the housing and press the button, the hook's solenoid activates and moves the hook back. I need to find a way to mess with it and not have the hood lock while I'm doing so. I kind of enjoy monkeying around with this sort of thing. :p [/QUOTE]
