... a "do it yourself" project? Don't they realize there is the potential for severe electrical shock if the capacitor that charges the flash is discharged? I'll bet a dollar to a donut that every Owner's Manual has a WARNING! about this. Yet time after time someone says "Open it up and try to fix it."

I don't know! Maybe because it used to be easier. Back when cameras were all mechanical, you could actually see what was wrong when you opened it up.
A few years back, I opened up a Gameboy that my son hurled at the floor in a fit of temper. Not much to see. Bunch of electronics. Didn't have any idea what to do, so I closed it and threw it in a drawer, where it probably still is.
I imagine the inside of a digital camera would be pretty much the same.

Cost reparations are often so high that, in many cases, it's just better to buy a new camera; in other words, once it's broken, you can kiss your camera goodbye.
Therefore, there's little to lose by trying it yourself. And there actually are people skilled enough to try a few sensible things.

so many people try to save a little bit of money. plus they usually tend to think it's a real simple fix, but in reality they would screw something else up in addition to trying to fix their orginial problem.
p.s I also had asked pretty much the same question.
