What you will notice on the spring is that there is a small protrusion under the coil. You need to hook this bit right around under need the bracket for it to work. If you don't do this then you will have the exact problem you explained.<br>
Also, I have found that rather than taking the spring off you are better fashioning a very small 'hook'. I used a hair pin and bent the end around to a hook shape. Then you insert this in the centre of the white circular switch. You need to pull the white bit out until it clicks back into place. This hook method is much better than trying to pull the white thing out.<br>
Also, watch out for electric shocks. I gave myself about 5 by touching the exposed wires near the flash.<br>
