The flash bulb in my Fujifilm Finepix F30 no longer works.
I would like to change this out myself if possible. Will
someone please direct me to a website or other resource
where I can find directions and parts?

flash bulb?!

Is "flash bulb" incorrect nomencalature? I am referring to the
light at the top of the camera casing that flashes when you
press the shutter button. I am reluctant to call it a "flash
light" for obvious reasons. Is there a common name for this
light in the digital world?

Well, at one time these thingies were called "electronic flashes"
vs. "real" glass bulbs that exploded with a very bright but very
short duration burst of light. Thus, they came to be known as
"flash bulbs" and came in literally dozens of sizes and shapes.
Perhaps simply saying that your camera's flash quit and let it go
at that or perhaps call it what some camera makers call a "speed
light".

Fair enough. I won't call it the flash because that can be confused
with the flash memory in the camera. The flash memory in the camera is
what contains the camera's firmware and software. In my industry when
we say "the system's flash" it is referring to the flash memory.
"Speed light" just sounds silly. I think I like "electronic flash" but
that could still be confused with flash memory. Do you think "flash
tube" is okay?
