I've not had it in my paws 9 hours and already I have had it apart and gave the plastic housing round the bulb a little jiggle and now its steaming back and forth like a good one. <br /><br />Be careful with the 2 lens they have 2 little lips which sit together it seems (dont think mine were correct as received). When the housing is correctly mated the clips should slip into place with no force needed (getting them off is a bit trickier as they are glued in place) The rubber strips on the sides stick back on nicely with a little bostik just ensure they fit into the recessed bits otherwise they will be falling off in no time. <br />I had no noise from the motor at all. And after standing outside my backdoor shooting in the night and not seeing any difference in the flash beam i figured the motor was jammed. i also couldn't believe it could be that silent! I think its a shipping problem the bubble wrap in the box will do little to protect from shock and after getting thrown from china to the uk and then to ireland its no wonder the drive gets a bit upset. I wasn't about to send it to china for repair/ replacement unless it truely was fubar'd <br /><br />I also had read the review of the 560 and comments on the strobist about this issue. So I was prepared to have to fix this.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953634515908610535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-84020853010469406862013-09-05T15:43:50.596-07:002013-09-05T15:43:50.596-07:00Just opened and fixed both of mine after reading t...Just opened and fixed both of mine after reading this page.

I was very careful that I did not bugger the threads on the screw drive and powered it up. <br /><br />It appears the flash does a travel limit check for top and bottom then goes to the predetermined zoom setting. My zoom was working before but I hit the plus zoom button during a zoom and the zoom became frozen. Now it's free and works great.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />-ChadChad McKinneyhttp://www.chadmckinneyphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-82219197000946501612013-01-01T12:13:42.171-08:002013-01-01T12:13:42.171-08:00Thanks, that helped me a lot!Thanks, that helped me a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-92040326700966068622011-07-19T01:41:21.235-07:002011-07-19T01:41:21.235-07:00:)) Congratulations Hugh!:)) Congratulations Hugh!360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-61333359819489508802011-07-18T23:09:11.741-07:002011-07-18T23:09:11.741-07:00Thank you!

That's one similarity. <br /><br />Second, when I tried to move the screwdrive on my flash, it wouldn't budge at first either. It took quite a bit of effort before it finally moved. <br /><br />Based on those two similarities, I would guess that perhaps what happened to your flash is what happened to mine, and if so, maybe it's worth another try to twist the screwdrive. Other than that, you could try asking the friendly folks in the flickr thread on this issue http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157624620959271/ <br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-19751912066101964612011-03-10T17:25:25.333-08:002011-03-10T17:25:25.333-08:00Hi Mic,

Fiddled a little with the zoom motor. My YN560 came with the plastic mount and not metal. However the zoom screwdrive was metal.<br /><br />I dismantled everything and isolated the zoom motor. However, it just makes a weird sound and refuse to budge, regardless whether I had already twisted it or not.<br /><br />Any suggestions?Frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-10774031237723637972011-03-02T21:15:20.276-08:002011-03-02T21:15:20.276-08:00That's awesome!!!
