Does it also "buzz" while it flickers? Have you been playing with the custom functions? I ask because I also had a problem with mine. I finally discovered I had set the custom function for the modeling flash to activate by the test button--the red "ready" light. Every time I pushed that button I got a couple of seconds of "strobe" effect and a buzzing. Very disconcerting.
I don't have my flash or manual with me, but it is fairly straightforward. There is also a way to reset all custom functions to factory default.
