[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 310901, member: 12496"] It does not sound right. There is a switch to indicate when the door is open, and these switches have been known to give a little trouble. If it thinks the door is shut, it won't fire. If in warranty, I'd investigate having it checked for repair. But you need a better hot shoe flash anyway, for bounce, etc, and there are options less expensive than an out of warranty repair. Any hot shoe flash will always fire if present and enabled (turned on). Then the internal flash is "don't care" for almost all situations. [/QUOTE]
