My Sx40 Flash Is Not Firing.

My SX40 flash is not firing after a little over one year of almost no use. A canon rep walked me through how to force fire it and it still didn't work, so was recommended I send it in for a (very expensive) repair. Has anyone else had this happen and is there a fix for it?
