Hi @jeanettiespad ,

Does the flash look physically "broken" at all?

If so search online for Canon PowerShot SX230 HS flash replacement.

There are a number of results where the supplier offers the replacement part and also help with self installation.

Here is just one example. This is not a recommendation to use the supplier. It is shown to give an idea of the cost and also what extra help they offer. There may be others that suit you better.

Hopefully this is of some help
