This, most likely, will not help you. If it is stuck and you smell something burnt I think your camera has serious problems. I think this is the time to decide REPAIR or REPLACE.

This happened to me too!
Turn the dial to setup, push the menu button & select reset all. This will restore the defaults & let you use the flash again.

SOURCE: Nikon D40 will not flash

The lightning bolt icon in viewfinder blinks when flash is not ready, this can happen if flash doesnt pop up all the way, or if flash strobe tube is bad.

SOURCE: nikon d40 flash won't fire

My d40 did the same thing and the guy at Wolf Camera said a sensor is bad. The falsh was up but every time I focused it tried to pop up the flash again but it would not fire.

I had 2 options. Send it off for 8 weeks to Nikon at a $240 minimum or buy a flash attachment for $100. I chose the $100 option.

Nikon D5100 wont flash
Here is a list of things to check:
1. Go into the camera's menus and make sure that the flash is enabled.
2. Check in the menus that the flash is not set in the command mode.
3. You didn't say if your camera was in the auto mode, aperture or shutter priority, etc. If the camera is in shutter priority or manual mode, make sure that the shutter speed is below 1/250th of a second.
4. Make sure that the ISO speed isn't set so high that the camera thinks that flash is not needed.

Nikon D5100 camera flash does not pop-up. Any suggestions?
You can't pop up the flash in the Auto mode. In this mode the camera decides whether to use the flash or not.

Try switching to one of the PSAM modes. Does the flash then pop up when you push the flash button?

Nikon D5100 Built in flash won't pop up
Not even when you press the button on the left side of the class? the one with the flash symbol.
Switch on the camera and then press the button.
Look in the manual how you can setup the flash in all other than the automatic mode.

Can i use the nikon sb50dx flash with the nikon d5100
Yes, you can use the SB50DX on the D5100, however not in the TTL modes. It will only work in the manual or rear-curtain sync modes. For more information, look on page 204 of your camera's manual. You can download it for free at this link: https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17325

Can I use one nikon d5100 with one sakar mc zoom 80-200 No. 803489
If your lens has a Nikon mount then yes, you can use it on the D5100. You'll have to switch to the Manual exposure mode and you won't get any exposure help from the camera's light meter.

Auto flash wont work
did it pop up automatically or did you pop it manually? if it popped up by itself then the flash unfortunately is probably dead, since on automatic, it won't pop unless it's going to fire. If you popped it manually then - the camera doesn't think that the flash is necessary for the conditions that you're shooting in.

Nikon D40X inbuilt flash
If it's withing 30 days, get it exchanged. I have a D70s and it's been working fine for me, maybe something with the D40x with other customers? Take it back to the store and let an "instructor" try it out to make sure it's not a setting.

It's great for the manufacturer to know about any problems so they can get a good sample of problems to help many people. Good luck.
