Nikon SB-600 Flash Question

[ppp]

Hi all,

I have a Nikon SB-600 flash which had been broken just above the hotshoe, the plastic had snapped, i have glued it back together and all seems fine.

When I have the flash on i get the high pitched whine as it charges and the flash will fire and work on the camera etc but it never stops whining.

The ready light comes on but I thought the charge noise was meant to stop at this point?

The flash is only 3 months old, do you think Nikon would fix under warranty even though it has the damage near hotshoe?

Thanks as always

Where'd you get it from? With something that old I would be expecting the dealer to replace it, but like you say, it's near the hotshoe they could argue misuse. You could counter with not fit for purpose though

My Dad bought it online, think from someone like AJ Purdy's will have to check.

It got damaged so he bought new one and I got the old one off him to see if i could fix the hotshoe bit.

Then noticed the constant noise which i assumed was incorrect. Not worried about them fixing the hotshoe just the whine.
