Flash is not firing in auto or other modes in A570IS!

My camera A570 IS is few months old. Suddenly the flash stopped firing whenever required be it in auto mode or other modes viz portrait, landscape etc. Since the flash does not fire, the capture of image also does not work if flash is set on or required due to low light. Only without flash option I am able to use the camera!! Automatic flash or full flash mode camera is just not capturing the images!!

Have you tried doing a reset? Go into the camera's Setup menu and reset it to factory/ default settings. If something is messed up in the settings this will fix it.

Yep. Reset to default settings did not help. Is there any option to do a hardware reset in A570IS? There is no option for firmware upgrade or so..

Thanks
