relative newbie troubleshooting n55 flash

Shutterbug Strasse

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

I've got a Nikon N55 that I've been very happy with, but for one problem. It's only a few months old, but the flash will no longer fire. It acts normally except for that the metering and shutter times behave as if the flash is working, but the flash will not not work. On the plus side, I have had quite a bit of fun with available light. I really don't want to ship the camera to NYC for warranty service and be without it forever. Does anybody have any suggestions? I assume that it is the bulb, though I can't be sure. Is the bulb cheap and/or easy to replace myself? Short of self-repair, does anyone know of a good shop in the Western NY area (Erie/Niagara Counties)? TIA for the help.
