E:91:01 flash error

HELP ME PLEASEEE

Hello. I am a user of Sony Cybershot DSC-W30. Its an AWESOME CAMERAAAA..!!!. I dropped it from my hand once, but thankfully nothing happend to it wutsoever. I used the camera right after, and everything was still functioning normally (thankfully!!). After that episode, i didnt use the camera for a few days, but wen i turned on the camera for use.. i realized the flash stopped working. The error code E:91:01 kept flashing, and so did the flash stop working. Wen i take a picture, it would be extremely dark!!..please tell me how to fix it!! i will die without this camera!!!...and i cant afford another one!!!

  Heh, dude. I had the same problem with the same model (W30) and was starting to get a little scared with all the threads and posts out there, but I did download the Manual and the instruction was to initialize the camera.
  
  Go to Menu > Setup > Setup 1 > nitialize > OK
  
  Then set up the date and stuff, and you're ready to go!
  
  Hope I've helped.

    Hey I just wanted to say thanks for the help. I took my camera to the local camera guy who didn't even look at my camera but claimed that it could be sent away for about $250 or I could buy a new one for a little more. Thankfully the initialization worked. Thanks so much!
