My lovely wife put it up high on a shelf and it fell down and went boom. The pull-out screen is broken. Since I, and the flash, are very new to photography I thought I'd mess around with it anyway. The problem is when the flash is in manual mode, I cannot for the life of me get the zoom button to do anything - the setting will not change - its frozen on 14mm. Would the broken screen do this, or is there maybe some hidden damage from the fall?
Aside from that it seems to be working fine.

You got it!!
Using the screen puts the flash at 14mm. There must be a switch inside that pulling out the screen enables

I was afraid of that. Anybody on here know a good repair shop in Atlanta?
