Built in flash opens up but is not firing in low-light situations

I got the camera yesterday and was trying it out to just see the different settings. The flash was working fine and firing as it should. I turned the camera off for a bit, came back and all of sudden the flash would no longer fire. It pops up and registers it needs to use the flash but nothing happens. I tried resetting all the settings on the camera, removing the lens and re-adding, manually firing the flash but nothing happens. Am I missing a button or setting that may have disabled it permanently? Should I just send it back and hope Amazon will send me a replacement while they wait for this one to come back?

Things I've tried:
Setting to manual mode and manually engaging the flash
Swapping batteries
Making sure "Fire Flash" was enabled when in manual mode
