I bought last year on 30/12/08 in UK. for my Canon 1000. Yesterday I found my flashgun have problem when I try to switch on the hunting sound came out with only displaying ZOOM A and TTL indication. I did try to change with new battery but it's still have same problem.
Re: "the hunting sound came out with only displaying ZOOM A and TTL indication"
That has nothing to do with the battery, that is a blown capacitor on the flash board.
You need to have the flash assembly replaced.

if you have a question about a product repair and it will be sent to their service department! I would do this since it may be a simple problem or an inexpensive repair!

Dear FixYa Customer gman 265,
According to FixYas' Solution #1 by "ginko" you have a blown capacitor on the flash board necessitating replacement of the whole flash assembly!
If I were you I'd either
1) Continue to ask FixYa how to remove the flash assembly, buy replacement parts and install a new one
or
2) Email Jessops again asking for an estimate to repair your flash for you in which case you should include all the relevant info Model Make Part Needed. I believe they will respond faster if you make them believe you want them to repair it for you and they will probably confirm the problem if you just give them the codes again....I understand you may have already asked them for a repair estimate so you may want to try telling them you definitely want to have it repaired but watch out they may want you to send it to them before giving you an estimate.
Sorry to hear it wasn't just the batteries!

I have also suffered from this problem with Jessops flashes on various Canon cameras (even EOS 5N film camera) with my current Canon 40d sometimes the Flash symbol disappears from the view finder display. As I have two identical Jessops 320AFCs I believe it is to do with battery power. These guns will only work reliably with Duracell batteries or equivalent they soon lose the charge otherwise, they will not work at all with re-chargeables and only for a short while with standard AAs.
