coupledu973 sounds like either your flash capacitor has failed or the flash bulb itself. Start by using this guide to at least get to it. Both parts should be in the front assembly. Careful when you get to the capacitors. It may still carry a charge and can zap you. Discharge it before you work on it. Post some images of what you see when you get to the capacitor or the bulb so we can see what you see. Use this guide for that.
