hot shoe Questions, comments, or if you need more help How to share the flash repair love. Feedback. Introduction and Disclaimer disclaimer: This tutorial was written in 2006, using a Canon 20D, and has probably saved photographers a tens of http://www.conraderb.com/flashrepair/ thousands of dollars on repair fees. Since writing the tutorial, I have heard from people using these techniques on all sorts of other Canon cameras, including the Canon Rebels (all sorts, from the XT to the Xsi), as well as the 30D, 40D and 5D Mark 1 cameras. I bet that it would work on the 5D Mark 2 as well, but unfortunately, I can't promise it will work on your camera. So, this is for informational purposes canon eos only. You undertake any repairs to your equipment at your own risk. Also, don't be an idiot with high voltages. Do NOT open up your Canon flash unless you know exactly what you are doing.The charged capacitor can seriously hurt you. If you mess up your camera, or if you go to the hospital because you messed with your flash, it is YOUR fault, not mine. I am not a Canon flash engineer.

After thousands of frames on a camera, and you may find that your camera suddenly stops communicating with the flash properly. This can result in 1) the flash not firing at all (very frustrating) OR 2) the flash only firing at full power because the TTL communication is not working (probably not what you want either). Canon flashes can go wrong for a lot of reasons, and we can't solve all of them (for example, if you drop a flash and it no longer fires, you can only send it back to Canon. If it gets wet, don't mess with it.) A lot of flash problems can't be solved without a visit to the Canon factory repair centers. However, some of the most common problems can be solved with a bit of time and effort. Before proceeding, check two things (obvious, but you can overlook these): 1) That
