D70 Flash problem

The flash stopped working on my Nikon D70. Would anyone know how to fix it? It has not been used much since I've had the camera.

Thanks.

    Did you check the batteries? were they fresh? were they inserted to the corresponding polarity?

    Is it still under warranty? Strobes energize with capacitors, they could be bad if it wasn't used a long time, is the flash a current model?

    Bring it in the repair shop.

      The batteries are good.

      The camera is passed its warranty. I don't use the flash much so it's no big problem. I just though there may be a simple fix.

    Do you mean the D70's pop-up flash? At any rate flash repair is nor something for most DIY as they have capacitors that store large amounts of electricity. Discharging one accidentally while disassembling the flash could be dangerous.
