I had the problem with the flash sitting directly on top of the SCA so cable is
unlikely to be the cause.

Yes it is suspicious, but it looks like others are seeing the same fault (flash
will trigger, but no TTL operation). My camera has been reliable with the SC70
adapter, so it is unlikely to be the camera. I have 2 SCA300A cables, one for
each SCA 356, and tried swapping the cables between SCA 356s in case the cable
was at fault. In fact the second SCA 356 seems to have stopped working after
trying the cable swap. Add to this that Siu Fai reported that he has one SCA
356 which only works for TTL with the SCA305A attached makes me very suspicious
of the cable to module connection. My first thoughts are to map out the cable
connections then open the module and confirm that the internal circuits are
connecting through the cable. I will know more once I have a chance to do some
tests. It will probably be next week before I get a chance.

Exactly the same fault, the second unit after working all right to start with,
is a strange coincidence. Could there be a problem with the cable or the
camera? Bad contact?

Thank you for the replies. I managed to get a second SCA356 unit and it
worked correctly (briefly), but once I started swapping back and forth trying
to confirm the original SCA356 is faulty the second one started showing the
same fault. So I guess I can add 2 out of 2 units faulty to the list.
I hope to get a chance to look inside the unit in an attempt to repair at
least one. I will provide an update if I find any simple fix.
