Flash 580A not firing NX1/NX500

Request assistance.  My SEF-580A flash will not fire no matter what settings I have it on.  No A-TTL, No Manual.  The camera recognizes the flash and I can make changes in the  menu that instantly changes on the flash.  I was able to get the flash to fire when I set it to slave mode and use the internal flash on the NX1 to trigger the 580A.  So the flash works, as well as test mode, but no luck when I tried Master or any other modes.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I also tried to get it to work on my NX500 with no success.  I've already swapped different battery brands just to make sure.  Thanks.
