That would kind of depend on why it failed to pop up. If the linkage that releases the retaining hook is broken then there is no way for the pop up flash to release, short of tearing down the camera. If the spring is simply broken you can probably prop up the flash with something and it will probably work.

I almost never use the pop-up flash on the K-5 IIs.  I did have a
situation earlier this week, however, when it would have been useful.
I pushed the button, but nothing happened.

I am not inclined to send it out for repair just for the flash.
Anyone have any ideas for a fix (even temporary) that would allow me
to use it when I really need it?

TIA, Dan
