Since this forum is for "classic" cameras, you're unlikely to find a lot of help here. It isn't just an issue of being impolite or snobbish. I, for example, don't have any idea how the flash on a Canon Powershot works. Some of the cameras I use don't even have connections for a flash! My only advice is the classic advice my dad gave me when I was about 7, which has continued to be about the most useful first-step instruction in my toolbox: "Don't FORCE it!"

If this is a fairly expensive and recent sort of camera, it's probably worth taking or sending to someone who specializes in these repairs. If you can't see the mechanism or figure out how to get at it, it's probably not the sort of thing you should be trying.
