You can call HP and request a repair parts brochure if you want to fix the
flash yourself. If not then you will need a new camera. $150 to fix a
digital camera is a pretty good price( 2 hours labor at $60 + $20 for flash
unit). But of course cheap labor is hard to come by and is neither
suggested. You may want to get a new camera. I have a Canon A70. It's got
good reviews and has a strong flash.  8-)
