EOS 50 buit-in Flash does not work ??

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

My EOS 50 built-in Flash pops up, but it DOES NOT flash. Batteries are NEW. How can I know whether the bulb is fused or some circuit problem exists or some other problem? How much will this cost me if I go to a repair shop ?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem with my Ellan IIE.I have given my camera for repair.The technician told me that is either a problem with the integrated circuit or that the magnets of the shutter are destroyed.It will cost me about 1/2 the price of my camera.I am going to upgrade to EOS 3.What do you think?
