Speed light YN565EX not working on Canon 650D hotshoe

I am facing a problem.

I have Canon 650D body and i am using speedlite YN565EX since long and it was working well. but from some days speed light not working on hot shoe but working on slave mode (Builtin flash as master).

When in open setting in camera it give message "this menu cannot be displayed. incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off"

Here is my some finds

1) I check this speed light on another Canon 650D it is working well.

2) i check an other speed light of same model (YN565EX) on my own canon 650D but not working on my camera.

So most probable there is some problem in my camera (i.e hot shoe).

Note Metallic strip lost 2 years ago from hot shoe but flash was working well without that strip

Camera Hotshoe
