Has anyone had this problem, trying to shoot indoors with built in flash, i can here it trying to pop up and this error notice comes on. Im sure the camera hasnt been dropped or banged. Its odd sometimes it works ok sometimes its the error.

forgot to mention i have looked the error up and it stated there is something obstructing the flash
any help would be great thanks

Have you tried gently trying to lift the flash as it tries to pop up? I remember seeing a Nikon D80 with the same problem, but it was just through lack of use. Once it had been operated manually a few times it was fine.
 
saw a post before that there is a micro switch in one side of the hotshoe that can cause error messages if it gets stuck. not sure if it will affect on camera flash though
