Joust an update. Seems to be a communication error with the camera. The flash zoom stays at 17mm max default.

I tried a few shots and every one completely blown out and can hear flash fully discharge even when only light fill would be needed.

Any ideas on economical repair places?

I can't answer that but I remember a thread on the 7D forum about Yongnuo flashes firing at full power, due to a well-known problem with units burning out a component. See if I can find it... yeah, https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3778930

You might get some clues from reading that.
