Hello, we got a great deal for my wife for an open box D3400 off of ebay. We have found when in any auto-modes calling for flash the shutter will not release. The flash pops up just fine, but will not actually flash. If you then turn off flash the shutter will release. Once the camera flips up the flash it no longer makes the clicking noise so I think it's recognizing its up, but for some reason it will not make a flash. I doubt we will rarely use the flash but its annoying when the shutter won't release in an auto mode. It turns out I can return the item if done so within the next week. Any ideas on how to get it flashing without going through the return process?
