My canon sd1000 won't use the flash anymore....

making it only good for sunny outdoor shots. Even when I try to use full flash it just won't flash. I've had it for a good while and carry it in my purse everywhere so I guess I am pretty hard on it.
I've reverted to all the original settings but no flash. What could I try to get it working again? Or can that part break or quit working? Is it fixable for cheap? Or is it time to get another camera and what can I get that is cheap but takes easy pictures but would prefer one that does better night shots and allow me to focus on subject making the rest a bit blurry. I love those type of pictures.
THANKS

If the flash just doesn't work, and a reset wont' restore it, a repair is almost certainly required. But understand that the average cost of a camera repair is around $180. As such, it may cost more to repair than it is really worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.
