If you are using re-chargeable batteries, is it possible one or more has reached the end of its useful life?

yes it can be repaired use a WD 40 spray on asa dial try it

Wrong remote ... battery flat ... Not enough information for an educated guess.

Try eBay or your local friendly camera dealer

this is fixya we dont sell products on wrong site

You should be able to source on from Ebay, although due to the age of the flash it might not be easy. A word of warning - if you intend to use this flash with a modern DSLR, be aware that the trigger voltage on older flash units is far higher than that with which DSLRs can cope, and can result in permanent damage to your camera.

Unfortunately, from your description, the flash is completely done for - while a repair may be possible, I doubt if it would be economically worthwhile. Replacement is probably the only answer. What may be more important is to find out why this occurred - is it down to the charger, the batteries or an internal problem with the flash ? Were the batteries those supplied by Metz, or a different make ? If they were Metz ones, then maybe you should inform the manufacturers, to help others avoid this problem, and you might get a replacement flash if it is a manufacturing problem.

Yes, this is the way the flash can be used with the contemporary digital cameras. The camera has to be set to Full Manual mode (in point of the exposition), Exposure Time to 1/100 sec (or the shortest exposure that still assures full opening of the shutter). Aperture on the camera must suit the working aperture on the flash, also ISO speeds must match. The computer in the flash measures the reflected from the subject light and quenches the flash, creating the correct exposure. Mecamat sensor, having narrower reception angle and a sight, helps in achieving the correct illumination even on a relatively small subject. Sync voltage of Metz 45CL1 does not make harm to any digital camera, so you can use even the cheapest hotshoe-to-PC adapter available at many camera shops or you can buy one online. No need to spend much on sophisticated adapters.

Older unit. This may be helpful. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/FrameWork/charts/comp_metzflash_leica.html

Flash information can be gotten via the USB port. Check owners manual
