If you go to the above website it has a tutorial for you. Enjoy.
Basically you need to fix your Hot Shoe. :)
I think people were talking about cleaning the flash shoe, in case you use an external flash. However, there is a microswitch under the rails of the hotshoe on top of the camera that could be stuck in the down position.
If that's the case, some people use a toothpick to release it to the "up" position. If this switch is stuck, the camera thinks you have an external flash attached and ignores the popup flash.
The little pin people are talking about is the switch beneath the rails of the hotshoe. You might try to use the qtip and alcohol if it looks dirty. Take the camera in to a repair shop and just ask them where it is if you're still having a problem identifying it.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

Ok - That is not it... my husband tried that, but it is not the pin.
My husband thinks that the camera is 'shot'... he thinks it is time to upgrade... is it possible that I get a refund through fixya? He was mad that I did that, but I saw that it was helping people and I was desperate because I was going to a party today and wanted to take pictures!
Thank you for your help... and if you can provide me info. about getting $ back, i would appreciate it!
