I have a Sony DSLR-A300 and I can't get an external flash to work on the shoe mount.

My problem started when I realized that I had a seated old flash Achiever TZ250 around that I used to use on my old film camera Ricoh KR-5 DSLR. Obviously, the mount was different, so I bought a hot shoe adapter, but the flash does not fire. I thought that even if he was still working very well on the old SLR, that he was probably too old an era Flash to work on the new system of claw so I ordered TT520 Speedlite Flash online that I thought would be more consistent on the claw adapter. As soon as it arrived I unpacked and tried, but to my great disappointment I do nothing that can make the fire upwards. It tests fine, but it doesn't fire at all. Is there something I don't? Is it something with this camera I'm missing? Help, please.

Kind regards

Andrew

Amanda, that I had a look that link and not found very relevant because it is not related to my model. I got from a claw of replacement adapter and I still can't get the flash fires. It's as if there is no power going to the Mount of the brand at all. The camera would be defective?
