I've got a Nikon SC-17 flash cord which needs some attention. The metal hotshoe is loose in the plastic casing; the flash fires most of the time but the TTL functions only work when the flash is pressed firmly into the hotshoe - not possible when handholding the flash or when it's on a bracket.

I'm pretty sure it's a simple case of gluing the hotshoe down to the casing and soldering whatever wires have come loose inside; I would give it a go myself if I had a soldering iron and some watchmaker's screwdrivers. As I don't, would anyone like to earn £10 sorting it out for me? Or lend me the bits so I can have a go myself? Ta.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
