Hi,

Are you using bracketing mode (or HDR)? Have read that when using this mode the flash is fully disabled.

It may be either a faulty capacitor C901 (see p.2-2 of the service manual) that provides the voltage for the flash or perhaps it is a faulty flash unit (see p.2-4 part #65)

Here’s a link to the service manual for the camera.

You may have to contact a reputable, professional camera repair service or opt for using an external flash unit if dis-assembling the camera seems too daunting a task
