@hanyalbaghdady if your flash does not stay closed, it is possible that this is caused by a bad latch. Turn your camera around and look at the flash housing. Next to the hole that catches the hook in the body should be a very small Allen screw. Gently try to turn it to adjust the latch. If that does not work or if there are other issues. Check the Assemble/Disassemble part of the SM Nikon D3100 for your camera. Let us know what you find.
If you need to change the hook, check something like this video (not your exact model but close enough to get an idea)

Thank you for the detailed answer, but im looking for the alen key screw in the flash housing and it only has two small Phillips screws within this area. I wish their was a way to attach a photo it would explain alot.

I had this with a D90 - did my research and found no fix. However, I solved it by holding the flash down and flicked hard with my finger nail on the case juts outside of the little latch!. I saw the latch was springing back and forth but just not holding so i tried the above and it worked - Good luck with your. RJ

Do you mean it's open and it won't move so you cannot close it, or that when you close it, it pops back open again?
