Pain n the a**e .. Oh well, I'll just get another one when the refund comes through! Might look into something else .. I found the part on eBay for £12, but there is no way I would try fix it my self! Its not that bad. At the London Motor Show 2008, I spilt a bit of Red Bull down the flash head of my 580EXII and still works. Wide angle diffuser and bounce card just get a bit stuck at times. Took the whole thing apart and cleaned. Shouldnt be a biggie. Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program. Everyday, the universe spits out another idiot.....So far, the universe if winning

I had to send my 430EXII off to Fixation under warranty as it just stopped working one day - the day it came back I opened (badly) the package and promptly dropped it on the wooden floor! now it has a lovely piece of gaffa tape on it 500px

TBH I'd not want to have paid that much for something to have to repair it, if you'd only paid £30 then I'd do a DIY work around and do without the wide angle diffuser TBH. 5D | 40D | Σ24 f1.8 | 50 f1.8 II | 85 f1.8 | 70-200 F4L | 540EZ x2 | Nissin Di622
