  What is the trigger voltage of your strobes? Do you have a voltage regulating PC-adaptor in the D60's hot-shoe, like the Wein Safe-Sync? If not, it's possible the camera's circuits have been damaged by excessive voltage from the strobes.

  D'oh, nevermind. I was thinking of the Digital Rebel/300D. The D60 has it's own PC terminal.
