Put them back .. but it's not working .. My flash still flashes but picture is dim. Tried mount on camera, tried off camera cable, tried wireless.. all DIM, just like before..

Maybe I didnt clean the right places .. need to open up again .. but not now

About the hilarious part .. this is the picture ... :sofunny:
Happened to put the display upside down .. (so had to open up again ... ) :knock:

OK I must admit not for the faint hearted and those not good at putting stuff back.. And definitely not on your working flash!

your flash telling you it's "KO" .

haha i think better warn ALpha bros never leave alkaline batts in the flash.. cause alkaline batts tend to leak and spoil ur gears. also for flash if u dun use them for some time its good to take them out and flash here and flash there just to warm up the bulb abit.

Actually I have good habit of taking out flash batteries after each use.

It's just this one particular shoot, I forgot.. what an expensive mistake..

Maybe rechargeable is a good choice.. Try eneloop?
