Thought I might see if any one has any suggestions on what to do(besides not buy cheap things) So I was going to use both my speedlites today and slave them both off my Genesis 200, which has worked flawlessly in the past. My one YN560 wouldnt fire I flipped back and fourth between s1 & s2 and nothing, put it on my camera nothing. All the lights are on and fresh batterys are in. Any suggestions?

There is a thread on here about capacitors going bad on the yongnuos. Ill see if I can find it.

Here ya go. Its for a different model but I think I read somewhere that they had the same fix. Be careful as ive also read the capacitors can pack quite a punch. Electrocution is bad. MMkay?

I've read quite a bit about the 560s having a capacitor go bad, that's what stopped me from getting one and just getting another 460ii.
Bet that 560 didn't know who it was messing with! LOL
