Ron rote:
I have a problem that may have a simple answer, then again maybe not. I have the Canon 10D. I cannot get the onboard flash to open no matter how hard I press the button on the prism cover area. Is there something I am not doing? Is there something short of disassembly that I can do to get this thing to open the flash?

the button to pop up the build-in flash is to the right of the lens mount ring (when looking at the front of the body), just above the lens release button:

Is this the button you are trying to press?
The popup flash will open easily by just pulling it up gently holding it with a finger on each side of "prism" area.
There is a microswitch under one of the rails of the hotshoe. This is to stop the internel flash trying to open when there is an external flash fitted. If/when the switch jams down then the flash won't pop up. There must be lots about this in the archives, because it has been discussed many times.
