The usual answer to flash-won't-pop-up questions is flick the springs in the hot shoe to free the switch that tells the camera there is a flash attached, but this doesn't sound like that (try flicking the springs anyway).

This sounds more like the the flash is trying to release but can't. Are you able to apply some gentle lift to the flash as you press the button?

yes I can lift it if I apply subtle lift to the flash

How do you flick the springs?
