Yongnuo Speedlite YN568EX II - dismantling (opening after fall damage)

I dropped it from ~1.5m tripod (accidentally of course) - batteries squeezed springs into battery compartment. Opening to make sure, that back of battery compartment is not broken or cracked.

I have a Yongnuo 560-iv that has suddenly stopped working. It's less than a year old. I switch it on. The pilot light goes green, but it doesn't turn red as it should. It just stays green. When I press the light to test the flash, it doesn't go off. After about 30 seconds, the unit starts beeping, the display clears apart from a flashing symbol for empty battery. Then it goes off altogether. The batteries are fully charged Panasonic Enerloops (when I take them out and put them in other Yongnuo units, they work fine). If I simply open the battery cover, and close it again...the unit switches on, and goes through the same sequence I've outlined above. What's the issue here? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you I have a YN 685 and it is helpful to watch

My unit Yongnuo 568EX III makes a strange noise for exactly 20 seconds after being fired, like static, crackling electricity inside the bottom part of the flash. Anybody else experienced this? Is that normal? Thanks everyone

Is it hard to get to the on/off switch? My on/off switch on the Yongnuo 600EX-RT (for Canon models) is very loose and easily can move accidentally turning the speedlite off during a shoot. It will actually turn past the full on and off positions. It was in my case as a backup flash so not even sure how this happened. Thanks. Hoping you have a suggestion. Philip PS. I see now your on/off switch is different then my Yongnuo model for Canon. Mine has a 3 way switch. Off-Lock-On positions. (It's more of a rotary switch). You'd have to look at a photo of a Canon model to see what I mean. Model 600EX-RT.

Unfortunately my YN565EX also has felt on the floor and battery cover is damaged. Reflection board and wide angle diffuser felt out from their compartment. I manage to find spare battery cover but have problem how to reach inside the diffuser compartment. It is over flash head and seems separated, but I am afraid to employ force to detach it by screwdriver or knife. Do you know what is the right way to remove this cover. Thank you.

My top in-built small plastic diffuser got broke by falling on the ground. Only one lock got broken out of two. I am not able to use inbuilt bounce card as it doesn't stay there and comes out. What will be the solution for that? Any suggestion advice would be helpful

3:02 ... the take off doesent work on my speedlite 580ex II, one point are so fixed, but there are no more screws. Use canon glue? .. i dont want to break something. The Speedlite cost over 394 EUR on 2008. problem: leaked batteries... no more function... i will check. canon said 280 EUR for repair... not funny.

[@SlimFitMJ]

Thanks! Nice video I wish you would've shown how you were able to lift up the tension springs since it's such a tight space.

[@barcarolova]

non c'è la traduzione in italiano ?

Hello I had the same problem, my flash fell off the tripod and the batteries do not make contact with the battery door In your video I can not see what was the solution you applied. Did you change the battery compartment or applied another solution? Thank you!

[@MisSLollipop90]

just pull up the springs on the bottom to make the batteries higher to reach the door

[@diokles11]

Great video. Similar to what happened to me
