My SEF580a started acting up since saturday, if i tilt the camera up the flash disconnects in low light, but if you move your hand up it is fine... does not happen with onboard flash or any other flash i have tested.
Does it in manual mode or auto mode...

Hey there, about posting SEF580A stuff here, I meant for more general information things rather than problems with a faulty unit (I don't think that kind of post will get much attention and/or help if it's buried in here).  It sounds like your contacts may be disconnecting, I'm guessing you've already tried tightening down the flash more?  If cleaning the contacts and tightening it down doesn't help, then it's probably time to go right to Samsung's support.  You could also try making a new thread that might get some more ideas from other forum members, but personally I would be complaining to Samsung at that point.
