K-x no flash

I zapped the flash board terminals on the left side of the camera while I was in there chasing something else unrelated. I forgot to discharge the flash capacitor, as I usually used a external flash. Anyway, there was a spark, and now the internal flash will not fire. It wont trip shutter in flash mode as it does not sense the flash is charged? Off flash mode it works fine. Anyone know what component may have been damaged in the arc? Mosfet or trigger component? I can do surface mount soldering, just dont know where the flash trigger is, or what to look for. Flash board or main board?
