It could be a simple connection that is loose and just need to be put back into position, or it could be a controller circuit that is bad and needs to be replaced. This is not a user repairable problem. It should be sent in for repair.

You take it to a repair center. This is not a toaster. Its a precision instrument. A modern camera is not user serviceable. Contact Sony on their website to find out where to send it. If you are in the USA then its Precision Camera Repair. Look them up on the internet.
Again, do not attempt this yourself.
One reason is the built in flash. The charging capacitor for the flash retains its power after the camera has been shut down, and can give you one heck of a shock or fry a circuit board that falls down where it doesn't belong.

I would not recommend you fix it yourself since several of the inside componentes are high voltage and dangerous. But, why wont the flash turn on? if the batteries are good, could it be the battery contacts on the battery door and inside the flash? If the batteries have ever corroded (even a little) then that would be the problem. Use a pencil eraser to shine up the contacts until they are bright and shiney clean. Do not use sand paper or anthing vabbrasive as that will cause the contacts to corrod more and the problem will be worse.

it screws into the mount underneath your camera, connects via a cord to your hotshoe mount, and your flash willl then sit next to your camera mounted on this flash bracket.

The backup cell is rechargeable and when the main battery is reinserted and charged, it will charge the backup cell after a while.

If your Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 camera is working fine but is not being recognized by Windows 11, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the USB cable: Make sure that the USB cable you are using is properly connected to both the camera and the computer. Try using a different USB cable to see if that resolves the issue.
2. Check the USB port: Try connecting the camera to a different USB port on your computer to see if the port is the issue. Some USB ports may not have enough power to detect the camera.
3. Install the camera driver: If the camera did not come with a driver disc, try downloading and installing the driver from the manufacturer's website. Make sure to download the correct driver for your camera model and operating system.
4. Restart the computer: Sometimes, restarting the computer can help to resolve issues with USB devices not being recognized.
5. Try a different computer: If the above steps do not work, try connecting the camera to a different computer to see if the issue is with the camera or the computer.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there may be a hardware problem with the camera. In that case, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for further assistance.

A circuit or wire short will need to be diagnosed with a meter or send out for repair

Consider the following: Minolta closed their camera division in 2004, and sold the operation to Sony. That's also why the later Minolta lenses are compatible with Sony DSLRs (Minolta AF mount).
However, this meant that Minolta cameras were also automatically rendered obsolete, with no new spares being manufactured / supplied. (I know, I still own some Minolta cameras and have been down this road)
Now, I'm sure you can see how slim the chances are of getting any spares for the camera in question, especially a humble Point and Shoot.

It's time to aquire something newer (imho).

Yes you should format it.

Check your memory cards. If you are using SD cards, there is a small slide-lock on the side of card. Move the slide away from the LOCK icon, re-insert the card in the camera, being careful not to cause the slide to move again, and you should be able to use the card normally.
