Hello,

sorry to bother you, but i would like to ask you for an expert opinion - help.

I had to replace the flash spring on my device / camera. After installation, the flash works as it should, but when closing the flash and turning off the camera, the camera tells me to insert the flash (then it turns off classically). I noticed that there was a small magnet in the flash, which I assume a function to confirm the closing of the flash door.

I would just like to ask where exactly to place it? I’ve already tried all the places where it should be stored, but I’m still groping … (see photo)

I will be very grateful for your advice.

Regards and good health, Martin
