built in pop - up flash doesn´t

Hello, I have a camera EOS Rebel XS. The isn´t built-in flash of opening and the trace message appear:

"Error 05 the flash´s built-in auto pop-up was obstructed. Turn on power switch and . »

I ve tried several times with no results. Is there something else I could do before you take the camera to the Service?

Thank you very much!

Pedro

The pop-up flash has a tiny hook catch that it keeps down.  When the camera (or a manual operation) wants it pop up, a solenoid release the catch hook and spring should appear there.

Shoul hear you the clatter of the magnet to release capture several times before the camera gives up and displays the error message.

This means that the pop-up flash is stuck... maybe a bit of dust, sand, or dirt is scrub so it cannot lift.

Using your fingers, gently pull the flash either all the pop up flash button or simply by pressing the shutter button in a situation where the camera would be called for flash.

Once opened, you can use a little air on the articulation points to see if you can solve the problem.  You'll probably notice the hinge is rigid and does not pop - up on its own.

I've seen suggestions to use WD40 - but you would frankly get that close to my camera.  If there is dirt, you could use denatured alcohold to dissolve all what is gumming up the works.  The advantage of alcohol, is that it will evaporate on its own.

  • Get slaves 600EX-RT to fire only via the pop-up Flash

    I have a set up as slave and controlled by the 60 d 600EX-RT using the pop-up flash.  I have the 60 d settings for the slave to fire single pages 140 and 141 of the 60 d manual.  However, in this context the pop-up flash fires again.  At the end of page 141, he said "even if you disable the built-in flash of firing, it is always light to control the slave unit".  Is there no way to disable the pop-up flashing?  Otherwise you never truly unique off-camera flash.  Thank you.

    Is there no way to disable the pop-up flashing?  Otherwise you never truly unique off-camera flash.  Thank you.

    No, if you want to trigger a slave camera because it uses the pop-up flash as the triggering of the slave device.

    Yes, you get unique off-camera Flash because although pop-up flashes, it's only a pre-flash to trigger the slave.  In this configuration, that the pop-up does not contribute to the actual exposure, all this happens before the opening of the shutter.

  • Eliminate continues/annoying POPs for Flash install - how?

    Just tried to switch to Firefox of Safari - how can I get rid of a recurring pop-up that asks if I want to install Flash to view content on the site web I just tried to visit. I have blocked in the preferences pop up windows.

    This may cause me to stop using Firefox as I don't want Flash on my computer--because of the continuous demands to store unknown information on my computer.

    Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

    In the old version of Firefox 30 that you seem to be using, you can switch pref plugins.notifyMissingFlash false on the topic: config page.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    Please upgrade to the current version of Firefox 39.0.

  • Problems with the auto-completion pop-up, flashing on

    I just upgraded to 18.0.1 on my Windows 7 64-bit OS. When I start typing in something in an entry box or the address bar the pop-up window that appears to show me what I typed in the past (I'm the appellant autocomplete popup) glitters in the market. It happens for a split second, then disappears, but the shadow around the area there. It flashes during a split second when I use my arrows or the mouse to move through the list, but I don't know what I choose. It's almost as if it times out, but the shadow around the box is running.

    Any whey ideas what is happening.

    Hi hsbn:

    Tthank you for the answer. In fact, I was in the landscape or fully automatic firing Mode. One of the shots I was in one of the two formentioned mode, at 135 mm with a white wall on my left. In another shot, I took another shot in the open landscape and the flash popped up. I'll try again this weekend and try the different modes and I get results. And thank you, I have always appreciated the assistance.

  • What is a BlackBerry with built-in Air-exported Flash game?

    This may be a newbie question, but...

    A year ago, I built a concept mobile game using Adobe Flash CS5, the game was a combination of timeline and ActionScript.

    This file could easily be exported form Flash and imported into BlackBerry App World?

    easily? Laughing out loud

    with a little effort? Maybe

    It actually depends on your flash file. I had bad experiences trying to port an old .swf with ActionScript 2.0 because all actions were simply ignored. with AS3, there SHOULD be no problem

    What to do in general: install the sdk, Pack your game via command line, sign it, and done. Here is a link with further instructions

    http://www.hsharma.com/tutorials/10-easy-steps-to-package-and-sign-air-apps-for-PlayBook/

    When you are lucky, you can deploy directly to your playbook and it works. elsewise... Well, depends on the swf

    Good luck!

  • Flash doesn't work does not correctly

    I downloaded this browser because it is supposed to support flash on my tablet. I have found that not all flash elements are working properly. There was a flash element I've been doing drag and drop a statement on a disc if I have accepted or not agree. The statements would decrease when I typed it but do not drag. It is perhaps down to web design or the browser. Everyone has had such problems, and if someone can provide a solution?

  • Why the pop up Blocker doesn't work at all now?

    and in addition, I notice that almost all of the threads in question asking about it have been closed. I downloaded the add-on suggested, but my question is... what has changed? Firefox was the best to block pop-up windows, but now it's as if the popup blocker is non-existent. I have not changed the settings, but the pop-up windows began to become more and more abundant, I checked and not controlled and restarted with no improvement. It is not an occasional popup, literally every third click advertisement I do (even within a single window) causes some popup ad to appear... I counted. Something happened to firefox or guys got announcement just smarter to go around popups blockers in firefox? Whatever it is, please CORRECT IT. Otherwise, why have the ability to check a popups blocker in the Options? Thank you!

    Thank you for your help. Suggestions did lead me to discover elements in the control panel that does not have there... the additional and annoying toolbars, etc. I removed them and now I do not get the additional windows popping up with ads as I had been. Thanks again!

  • Accidentally says pop up blocker doesn't not to message me when blocking. Help!

    I accidentally hit something in the sense of "do not show this message again when pop-ups are blocked." I found a solution on the status bar, but Firefox 10 has no status bar, and I have no way to get the message again. I need it because I have to allow some pop up (like enter my working hours). Help, please! Thank you!

    You should see an icon of the pop up block on the side of the right end of the address bar when an embedded menu is blocked.

    You can click on this icon to get a pop-up which allows to restore the information bar.

  • No sound, after reset, flash doesn't install, used to install the sound drivers SoundMax & HDA

    My problems are:

    No sound with Youtube or the laptop itself

    SoundMax will not install either even though I downloaded the audio drivers HDA, he asked.

    Download Flash clogged my SoundMax after factory reset.

    I decided to do a factory reset after Youtube starts to slow down. After reset it (Youtube) sort of worked better

    then the audio has disappeared from the laptop. Drivers SoundMax Audio disappeared (greyed out).

    I downloaded the Audio driver from the Lenovo Web site for my X 31 but install SoundMax wouldn't install because he repeated HDA Audio drivers have not been installed.

    I downloaded from here:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_AU/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&docid=HT072373

    So I went to the HP website to download the audio drivers HDA, then the SoundMax Audio reappeared and I got the sound on my computer.

    Audio HDA drivers contain a link to the HP Web site (as Lenovo does not have it):

    http://h20565.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.page/public/PSI/swdDetails/?cc=us&lang=en&swItem...

    When I downloaded the last Adobe Flash, the Audio SoundMax disappeared again. So for the moment I have Youtube video without sound (and Firefox tells me to download Flash?)

    No sound on IE as well.

    Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

    Based on 2673-N7G

    After reading of various scattered discussions on the internet, I have been made aware

    to look in that direction, but don't know what I should look for, so I
