Anyone ever had one of these? Anyone ever had one of these break on them? :razz:
GARGH! I waited weeks for some eBay retailer to send me this flashgun. I'd had previously decent experience with Yongnuo flashguns. Their build quality and performance equalled the official Canon ones at least. Anyways, I received the flash last week and gave it its first proper trial run on Friday night. By the end of the night the thing stopped working! :bang: The flash was triggering, both on pilot and on the hotshoe, but the flash was not firing.
I might add, up until that point it was giving me great results!
After browsing the web, it turns out that a common fault with these flashes is a blown capacitor. The bloke on eBay has told me to mail the thing back to him and he'll fix it for me... This is beginning to cost me a fortune!
Has anyone had the misfortune of this happening to them? I'm wondering if it would easier to either:
a) Repair it myself
OR
b) Have one of you guys repair it for me!
I feel like I've been cheated out of £100
Appreciate any help or advice you guys can give me!
