Toine,
This is actually a common problem with the *istD. They brought out a
revised board which should stop the problem happening again.
If you want to be sure about the Metz get a volt meter and measure the
voltage across the terminals when the flash is charged. If it is around
6volts that is fine if it is in the hundreds than I wouldn't use it.

Today my istD was repaired by Pentax. The flash charging circuit board
was replaced. It was repaired very nicely by Pentax.
The internal flash died and caused some short circuit (the battery
indicator showed zero and everything stop working)
Now I'm wondering if I fried my D with a Metz CL1??? I don't dare
connecting it again. The specs and measured voltage are ok I think.
