hi,could it possibly be a sticking problem?when you press the button,it does nothing?does the flash come up with gentle persuasion?
i've got an MZ30 and MZ50,both flash units look identical,only they're release is different.the MZ30 is only able to pop up when the camera is switched on,the MZ50 you can pop it up any time.
you may not get much help as this site is regarded for classic's,i'm willing to give you as much help as i can.
sorry i didn't see this earlier as i'm in the middle of fixing an SFX.
