300d flash pops up, doesn't flash

The Rebel is about four years old. I've taken well over 10,000 photos. It's been repaired once (shutter pin bent). Flash was working well till a couple of days ago. It still pops up when it's supposed to, but doesn't flash. The little lightning symbol even shows up on the screen like it's supposed to. Argh!

Hmm. I'd take it in, Flea. Could be simple, could be complex, really no way to tell. I'm assuming (after 10,000 photos) I don't have to tell you to make sure you're in the right mode for the flash! Do try doing a reset/ factory default restore of settings, if you'd like, but it's probably a repair issue.

Thanks, Brenda. I'll try the reset and let you know. If not ... oh well. :)
