Pop-Up Flash

Has anyone had an issue where the pop-up flash won't "flash"? I was having an issue even getting the flash to pop-up, but I gently got that fixed. However, one of the inside latches appeared to be disengaged. There was no trauma to the phone, it wasn't dropped or anything like that. I honestly don't really know how this occurred. Anyway, the flash now pop-ups just fine and I am able to close the flash, it just won't "flash".

Thanks in advance,
Jim

I had the same problem with my old D50 - flash pops up but will not fire, but the camera thinks it did fire. I think the Xenon bulb was just fried. Haven't had it with the D90 though, but I usually use a hotshoe flash with it anyways.
