It sounds like the battery is flat or not holding a charge. Remove it and test the voltage with a multimeter. It should be 3.6 volts.

This information will be in the camera manual.

You can Google your camera make/model and open the link to download your user manual in a PDF. I did this and picked the one below. Under the Table of Contents, pick Turning off the flash. The instructions to turn it on are there as well.
Hope this helps. Mike

The quickest solution to this problem would be to do a factory reset for the settings on your camera. By pressing the menu button, use the zoom lever to choose the tools tab, then use the up and down buttons to choose [Reset All] and then press the [Func Set] button. Then use the left/right buttons to choos [OK] and press the [Func Set] button again.

Don't worry, this will not erase any of the pictures you have on your camera.
