Hi there,
How weird- I had not heard of flash problems with this camera, then I Googled it and whaddaya know, I got a SLEW of pages of people talking about it! How strange.
Some of them don't sound like the exact same issue as yours, so their advice may not help you. Some talk about the flash being too dark, for example... but one thing did catch my eye: an issue with the flash not being synchronized with the shutter being open. I wonder, does your flash fire and just not at the right time (i.e. after the photo is already taken), or does it just not fire at all?
Do try turning off the red-eye reduction, if you have it on. That seems to just complicate the matter. You can also try doing a reset (there's a button for this inside the memory card door). If those things don't help, you are likely looking at repairs, as everything I am finding about this problem seems to point to it being a design flaw and not something that can be user-repaired. I realize that's not terribly helpful. =/
