Camera Flash Capacitor Discharged Will It Charge Again?

I was cleaning the dust inside my Nikon Coolpix L610 and i received a very powerful shock… After that the flash only had the power to flash once and is now dead. The red light that indicates a power problem with the flash is on, on the top of the camera.

I'm assuming i rapidly discharged the Flash Capacitor a battery that stores power from the main batteries for use only with the flash. Everything on the camera works fine, just the flash being dead, and yes i know how to make sure the flash is on…

My question is, Do i have to get a new battery or "Flash Capacitor" Or does it just take time for the main batteries to charge the Flash Capacitor, and i need to let it sit for awhile. My camera is an advanced camera but takes AA's.

What do i need to do. I know i did not kill or short something perm because the flash still worked once afterwards.
