After long term use, it is possible that the flash module on your camera is stuck in position and can only be opened manually, or the light has burnt out. In either case it is safe to say that the module needs to be replaced. Use caution when removing the module because there are several wire harnesses connecting the module to the motherboard.

What is the part number for the Module, or where can it be readily found?

Scott - Contestar

You have got to be kidding me.. my camera would never get to shoot another photo...

Between steps 7 and 8, you left out removing the rest of the body covers. The top won't come off without removing the front, back, and sides.
