Troubleshooting
Flash not firing.

Flash not syncing with the camera.
Make sure the flash and camera are set to the correct sync mode (e.g., HSS), and that the camera's shutter speed is within the flash's sync range. Check the wireless settings if using off-camera flash.
Weak or inconsistent flash output.
Check the battery level and recharge if necessary. Clean the flash contacts. If using manual mode, ensure the power settings are appropriate for the distance and lighting conditions.
