Nikon D40 sticky flash

[lawrenceots]

Ways the solution to a sticky flash (slightly) on my D40? It sonetimes won't pop up, so I have to pride it up manukaky. Ice cleaned the contacts and flash mechanism, but still seems a tad iffy. I just used a blower thing, and cleaning wipes... Ideas?

Follow the link in post 3 .

It's about the opposite problem to yours but the solution may well be the same.

Working fine now - went over again with the cleaning wiped and noticed that there was a bit of sticky stuff? underneath that was causing it to stick...good clean and good as new!
