I would suggest taking it to a technician to have it repaired. It does not seem like something you should try to fix yourself.
SOURCE: camera does not fire external flash
Also be certain that the flash is screwed onto the shoe as tightly as possible.
SOURCE: flash not firing properly
Could be the metering mode you are in. Could be the subject is too far away. Could be ISO is set wrong. Could be the lens aperture can't open up enough. Could be the exposure compensation isn't set correctly. Could be FE Lock is still on and the composition has changed. Does the <flash> icon continue to blink? Then you are too far away.
