I have a problem started today with my DSC H3. The flash is enabled as flash on and showing on the display screen - when I take a shot it pops open but does not flash. I have not changed any settings and am just in normal camera mode.

annier-

If by normal you mean the "P" for programed auto mode, then flash should indeed flash. However, there are other modes that can be selected where the flash will not flash.

Yes it was on normal mode not one of the modes where flash doesn't work - It has gone back to Sony now and I have had a txt saying I should get it back within 5 days - last time it had a fault (power button not working) it took over 2weeks to come back! I love the camera but it has had 2 faults in under 12 months which has not happened in any other Sony camera I have had.
