Without seeing a sample photo, with EXIF, I'm just making guesses:

1) the most likely culprit from your descriptions is that you have the flash in wireless commander mode. The flash is firing to send a signal to an external unit, but with none present you end up with an underexposure.

2) The FEC may be dialled way down

3) Your aperture is too small to allow reasonable exposure with the onboard flash

4) Your subject is too far away to be well lit by the onboard flash.
