I neva do nothing wrong, but I feel guilty. Let me explain. This is my flash. It's 4 years old. I paid $350 for it . . . I know . . . expensive, but it's worth it. I use it a lot. It broke about a month ago and wouldn't fire at all so I took it into Canon Hawaii. It cost me $115 to fix which includes a 6-month repair warranty.
It worked okay for about a week after the repair, but then started acting up again, so I took it in. The girl said that it looked like a different problem, and did I drop it? I said, "No." She kindly agreed to have it repaired for free since I had just brought it in recently.
I went to pick up the flash today. The same girl helped me. She said that they had to replace a lot of components. She said that it had sustained what looked like impact damage since the recent repair. Whaaaa??? I said, "Huh? Like from being dropped?" She said, "Uhuh." But I didn't drop it. How do you convince somebody that you didn't lie? Now, I feel guilty . . . like I lied. But I didn't. I didn't drop it.

I know. I know. I've written about this problem before. Can't remember
when, but I'm sure I've complained about this in another post.

They probably didn't check everything, saw one thing wrong and assumed THAT WAS the problem....just like a car..
I think you're right Didi. But they claimed to have done a thorough inspection of it the first time.
I agree, they probably didn't see it the first time. I dropped my Nikon flash at least 3 time on concrete. Kind of chipped all over, but still working.
I swear that flash just has issues. I wonder what they'll tell me if (when) I take mines in. My other flash has no problems at all! wth? And the EXII was much more expensive!!
Hmmm. That's not fair at all!
Maybe your dog dropped it. :)
That's a lot to get it fixed, so they shouldn't mind fixing it for free, right?
My Mom always told me to do the right thing...then you can live a free life with no regret. So, no worries...just be FREEEE!!! :) XO
You know I'm rough on my gear Erick. Maybe the years of not-so-tender-care had its toll.
I know Les. My much cheaper and older, less fancier 420 EX has never had any problems.
Good advice Cathy!!
I agree that's a lot, Mariko. I guess if it breaks again, I'll get a not-so-fancy cheaper replacement.
No need feel guilty, they probably dropped it before returning it to you the last time. Need a lawyer?
AHAHAHAHA, that's sooo funny Fawn.
