Ok, I think my trusty 420 just died on me. Right in the middle of a basketball game the thing stops firing. The lights are still on in the back, except for the pilot light. It still responds when I change focal lengths, but no flash fire anymore. Has this happened to anyone else?

Good God. The batteries have died not the flash. What a doofus. Time for new batteries.

Now would be a good time to claim that you posted the thread as an April fools joke!
