Are your flash PC connections very loose (not snug like a USB or headphone)?

The connector in both my camera and my flash are quite loose, like they could just fall out at any time. Is there an alignment that I might be missing or something?

Lame question I know... TIA.

This should help: //www.amazon.com/Westcott-P-C-Repair-Tool/dp/B00009UTYS

It will reshape the connector and make it snug again.

Just bend the metal slightly surrounding the inner contact. It should fit more snugly. It worked fine on mine.

Hit flashzebra.com and get the screw lock types..... FAR better then regular ones... although the pc port is generally a poor type of connection.
