Canon 100D / SL1 flash not working? (always busy)

I bought my Canon 100D the past year and I use it about 1 time per month, with the default lens it came on.

Last night when I tried to use it I noticed the internal flash never works. It popups but no flash is emited. I tried several modes and also changing flash from auto to ON, so that it always uses the flash and still nothing.

When I short press the shutter I get a message that says busy all the time. I also tried with 2 different batteries with the same results. The memory card is the same I always used (a fast one).

Any idea what can be wrong or I just need to get it serviced? (out of warranty, damm....)

Canon EOS Rebel SL1 (EOS 100D)
