CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit) has done wonders for Canon Powershot cameras, by developing an awesome firmware for the Canon point and shoot series of cameras. I have been fiddling with it since I got an old used SD300 last year. You ought to try it if you have an old Canon lying around....
If you Nikon SB-600 Flash powers up, makes funny whizzing noise and then the LCD display shows blinking “–” (instead of the lens focal length), then most likely the motor inside the flash has broken off from its original place.
