First look at you mode dial on the camera and make sure it is not on the setting with a picture of a flash with a cross through it. If that doesn't work in your menu see if the flash is disabled. Note: When On A Manual Mode You Need To Manually Pop Up The Flash
Hi there if in auto mode youe camera gives you under exposer its mean the camera sensor not working properly. May be its damaged. I suggest you before buying the new flash just check your camera from service center. Thanks.
If the camera is in auto mode, the flash opens anytime the camera feels that it cannot take the picture with only ambient light. You can overcome this by closing the flash once the camera opens it or using a manual mode. In manual mode, the flash opens only if you press the flash button on the left side of the flash housing.
Check the flash setting in the shooting mode (on Auto). Press the "?" button twice. You should see the flash mode window. Small box on the lower left for flash settings (hi-lighted in yellow, or navigate to it). Press OK to see and change flash settings to your preference.
If it's withing 30 days, get it exchanged. I have a D70s and it's been working fine for me, maybe something with the D40x with other customers? Take it back to the store and let an "instructor" try it out to make sure it's not a setting.
It's great for the manufacturer to know about any problems so they can get a good sample of problems to help many people. Good luck.
