I have a Minolta 5600HSD flash with a broken hot shoe. Where can I get this repaired?

You need to do some work on the web because you did not give us the make and model. Try these links they should get you started.

Have to try tighten down the four screws holding the shoe?

Would you like me to fix it for you?

If it is just the Hotshoe Assy, then you can buy from me.
They come in two versions:

Nissin Di866
Nissin Di866 Mark II

Are you from USA?

It's not a problem if you're not using a wide-angle lens. And if you are, you can always diffuse the flash by putting a thin white handkerchief or even a sheet of tissue paper over the flash.

You take it to a repair center. This is not a toaster. Its a precision instrument. A modern camera is not user serviceable. Contact Sony on their website to find out where to send it. If you are in the USA then its Precision Camera Repair. Look them up on the internet.
Again, do not attempt this yourself.
One reason is the built in flash. The charging capacitor for the flash retains its power after the camera has been shut down, and can give you one heck of a shock or fry a circuit board that falls down where it doesn't belong.

you can try super glue as long as the contacts are good. the hot shoe can be replaced with a good used one as no new parts are available. this could be expensive so get a cost estimate first.

If you know basic soldering, Open the old hot shoe from base
(4 screws).Note down the position of the wires.
Try to fire the flash with shorting two trigger wires,most ly it will fire.
If the springy contact is adjustable do it.If it is not repairable, you can get metal hot shoe from ebay easily.
Caution: metal hot shoe will short circuit 4 TTL contacts (on digital camera) ,so you need to put cello tape at bottom of hot shoe with only center hole.
Hope this solves.

This is what you need:

it screws into the mount underneath your camera, connects via a cord to your hotshoe mount, and your flash willl then sit next to your camera mounted on this flash bracket.

This link gives step-by-step instructions with pictures for replacing the shoe.

LOLEE, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT FLASH, BUT I HAVE SOME GENERAL INFO THAT MIGHT HELP. FIRST, IS THIS FLASH USING THE CAMERA " HOT SHOE " MOUNT? IF IT IS, ARE YOU SURE THAT THE FLASH IS FULLY INSERTED IN THE HOT SHOE? NEXT, IS THIS FLASH COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR CAMERA? YOU SEE, SOMEHOW THE CAMERA IS NOT GETTING THE INFO THAT THE FLASH IS CONNECTED. I WOULD CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS TO BE SURE THEY ARE TIGHT. HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME IDEAS TO WORK ON. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP, JUST REPLY.
