The flash getting stuch is a common problem with the Canon Rebel ( or Kiss) series. Set the camera in Auto mode in a dim place. Hold the flash unit gently from both sides and try to help it open while pressing the photo button. Do not use force if this does not work the first time - try it again.

Once open, clean the sides of the flash unit in case some dust is causing this problem.

I HAVE A SONY-KV-ES34M61TV,PICTURE GOOD,SOUND GOOD BUT LIGHT BLINKIG FIVE TIMESWHEN NOT PICTURE ON TV SCREEN FLESHING LIGHT IS STOP, PICTURE GOOD,SOUND GOOD BUT IN SELF DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY 005:255,IT...

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Blinking codes details to many popular brand TVs are given. Surf the site with patience.

Flash won't fire; error code 005

Error 5 is usually flash obstructed. Help it into the open position cycle the camera off and on and see if it will work when it's up. If error 5 persists check for two tiny black plastic rods about the size of a pencil lead sticking up. They should be free to move up and down and be spring loaded up. If they are stuck that's your problem. Iso-Propyl alcohol on a cotton bud MAY help but use it very sparingly.
If it works when up but is stiff to open and shut the hinge (right hand side viewed from the front) may be corroded. I disassembled mine cleaned rust off the hinge and it's fine. Make sure you record which side arm (that limits the travel of the flash) is which and which way up it goes. With those two off there are three small screws holding the flash together. remove them and slide the flash cover forward. Now you can ease out the bearing (the wires go through the middle so you can't take it right off) and clean it.
Good luck post result to help others.
