My Sc29 seems to work when it does but at times does not respond to camera or vice versa. I use it with my D700. I tried cleaning the contact points and thought that would help but the problem still exists.

There may be a break in the wires in the cable. Clean the contacts on the flash, camera and cable again really good and try again. do not use sandpaper aor anything abrasive since that damages the contacts and makes them more likely to fail. Use a rubber pencil eraser. If this doesn't work buy a new cord, as they are unrepairable.

I received my new G10 yesterday, and first impression is that this is very well built camera with lots of capabilities.
Although the G10 has a pretty good reach with its built in flash, I want a Speedlite to go with it. I know there are a few different models, but I want something compact and not too expensive. Any recommendations?

I have a 580ex II. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Trying to use it today w/my ST-e2, the flash won't go off. It will flash if you put it directly onto the camera.

I have a Prolinca 250 flash unit with what appears to be a popped inductor encased in a heatsink. Does anyone know where I can get it repaired, or get the parts to repair it myself?
