It is detecting it has enough light and not flashing. Look for an "indoor" or other appropriate mode for what you are shooting since most Samsung cameras have them. The flash will only go off when the camera thinks it is needed. Canon Cameras are useless indoors but Samsung's are pretty good indoors when you find the right setting. Their latest models have dozens of modes, most of which you will never use. They are just VERY slow to take pictures. It appears to be cheaper version of their WB250F I had for a while.
P.S. - Never drop a Sansung camera. They will chip and even get damaged from as little as a foot or so. I had one fall about a foot onto pavement and it was permanently ruined. Their older models also stop with lens out when the battery dies but the Galaxy Cam is finally smart enough to retract the lens before the battery dies. It alos does so when shutting down unlike the older models.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).
its a camera and as with all cameras we assume you have followed the rules. the rules are with the camera off, plug in the cable to both devices. then with the pc on already, then switch on the camera. if that is what you are doing then it should work ok. if it does not then it implies the usb port you are plugging it into has some old style Sniffer program looking for a different sort of usb device that will only work when plugged into that particular socket, thus preventing anything else from working properly in that socket. turn the camera off and try plugging it in to a different USB socket.
It sounds like a cable has been disconnected or a chip loosened after the drop. I would send the camera back to the store you bought it from or contact the manufacture to have it replaced. Sometimes its as easy as getting a new one or repaired for a small fee. Good Luck!
