stuck external flash detect button

Take a look at the hot shoe where you mount your external flash. Take a probe and push around on the buttons and clips.

One of those detects when you have an external flash mounted and prevents the onboard flash from poping up. I am not sure, but I think it is under the side rails of the hot shoe...

Free the stuck button and your onboard flash will pop up again.
