I've been having this problem for some time now, thought it ws me but I guess not. I wonder how many other folk are in this predicament or is it build in obsolescence by Canon?

same here.. flash won't come on and all photos (esp. indoor) come out very dark. I've also played around with all the settings & tried trouble shooting but nothing works.same here.. flash won't come on and all photos (esp. indoor) come out very dark.

First of all, don't use the flash...it's only good for a short distance. Obviously, you need a fast shutter speed to stop the action. To get this to happen while in auto mode, you will need to set the ISO to a higher number such as 800 or 1600. You will need to take a couple of test shots to find the correct setting.
To set the flash. There is one button on the back side or on top of the camera(to located this button go through your user manual supplied with the camera). Using that button you can select the flash.
There is three option while selecting it :
1. Always on. When you select it the flash will be triggered when ever yo click a picture, No matter it is day light or at night.
2. Always off. In this the flash will not be triggered at any time.
3. Automatic. When you select this, the flash will be triggered automatically when ever the inbuilt sensor detects there is a need for one.
Hope this will help to solve your issue.

Shots like this are tough to get with a point and shoot camera.
The best way is to set the exposure around 1/15 or lower, if you can adjust ISO use the highest ISO setting the camera will allow. You will need to hold the camera very still, so a tripod or other solid object to steady the camera with will help lots. Sometimes pushing the shutter moves the camera, so try using the self timer. A tripod with the self timer is the best way to go, and experiment with different shutter speeds. Start with the longest the camera has and go up.
You can also try the flash, but the flash modes that really work aren't available unless you get an SLR.
If you can adjust the ISO sensitivity to a lower number then the graininess will be reduced.
However, by reducing the ISO, you will need a slower shutter speed and a larger aperture. A tripod, table or other support may be necessary.
The "noise reduction" setting on the camera can also be adjusted a step up.
Taking pictures at full resolution and fine compression will also help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, at least try lowering the ISO, and using the flash brighter.
