it doesnt fire when its supposed to. when i hit test, it sometimes tests, but sometimes, doesnt test. when it does test, it doesnt test at the power it should. believe me, ive seen this thing at 1/1 plenty of times and its nowhere near that any more. i boguht this used at Fredmiranda and it worked very well until now. I have a blank warranty card in the box, anything i could do with that?

It may sound like a stupid question, but did you put in known good, fresh batteries?

I was having probs with my metz...fresh batts fixed it. all kinds of weirdness was going on. I thought the batts were fresh (NiMh rechargeable) but a newly charged set fixed it. One cell apparently went flat before the others causing a low voltage and the computer in the flash just acted erratically.
