Haha Bro Sulhan, I have more to add.. It cost around $150 (including labour) to replace the flash broken hotshoe base for F36. I subsequently bought the part for half the cost, and replaced it myself in 5min. 5min labour can't be that expensive! Anyway, if interested can check my previous threads for pictures (opening up flashes). Please do not attempt on your working flash though.
