[QUOTE="Bike, post: 814544, member: 52925"] I just purchased a used D7100 (to replace my dead D90) and noticed that the pop up flash wouldn't work. I noticed it doesn't open all the way. I took a closer look and realized it was only open about 1/3 of it's full opening position and won't flash in that position. When I manually open it more it works. It seems like has two positions. One halfway and the other all the way open. Are they built to have two positions? That's not how the D90 opens. I also noticed one of the screws attached to the metal opening guide has a bit of rust on it which doesn't thrill me. If it's supposed to open up all the way when released I thought I could put a dab of Tri-Flow on the tip of a toothpick and get some lube on the pins that sit in the sliding slot of the hinge to see if that improved things. I'm going to contact KEH after I think on this a bit and any input will be helpful. The camera seems very clean otherwise. Has 3700 actuations. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
