Sony a7ii hot shoe not working

Sony a7ii hot shoe not working

I have a Sony a7ii set to Manual, with Bowens pulsar radio trigger on top set to transmit to Bowens pulsar radio trigger set to receive which is plugged into a Bowens flash unit. There 4 such units set to roughly 75% light output, slaved to the receiver

The problem is that the camera has stopped triggering the flash system. It worked fairly consistently for a long time then yesterday started to miss on almost every shot. All the batteries are fine, contacts are clean and pulsar settings are all correct. The test button on both the pulsars work fine.

Your advice would be much appreciated.

Do you have other cameras to test with the units or other units to try with this camera?

 

Have you tried the basics of taking out the battery, leaving it out for a few minutes, then trying it again, etc.?
