I have a Canolite D flash, I put in new batteries and the ready lite comes on and lites but the flash will not flash...I have tried it on 2 different Canon QL17 cameras but it will not flash.
I would appreciate some guidance as to what I should be checking or looking into..?? Is there something inside the flash unit that I should check.? |

Just a suggestion, I am not an expert. Are you sure the Canon shutters are actually opening? And have you tried turning it on and shorting the two contacts on the bottom with a paper clip or piece of wire? |

Hello Charlie
Yes, I am sure the shutters are opening on the QL17's but the flash will not fire. I tried shorting across the contacts on the bottom as you suggested but it still does not fire. The ready lite is on but nothing happens.

I have found that if you take the flash apart
there are some litte metal pieces that contact
the flash pins and get dirty not making good
contact. Clean that area and see what happens.
Let the flash sit for a day to discharge the
capacitor so you wont get shocked. |
