Check the contacts on your camera as well. If that doesn't help, sounds like you may have loose electronics internally. Only fix for that is sending it in or buying a new one. :\ Canon 5D Mark II - Konica Autoreflex TC - Nikon F4 - Leicaflex SL - Summicron-R 50mm f2 - Elmarit-R 135mm f2.8

A cord certainly looks cheaper than a wireless set-up, but then again, I can use a two flash set-up if I get a wireless transmitter, no? I'm thinking that would be useful for DJ shots in particular... Canon 6D - Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 - Canon 50mm f1.4 - Sigma 15mm Fisheye - Canon 70-200mm L f2.8 II
