picturesque Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I assume you put fresh batteries in it. What do you mean the pilot lamp won't go off? It won't go off because the flash doesn't fire? Or do you mean the pilot lamp doesn't light even though the flash is building up power (the humming)?

crabseye Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Does the flash fire when you press the test button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
