Just as an experiment, select 2nd-curtain shutter sync in the Flash Control menu, put the camera into Tv mode and select a long exposure (about 1 second). Watch what happens when you press the shutter button. You should get an immediate low-power "preflash", and then at the end of the exposure you should get the actual "light up the subject" flash. (The picture you capture will probably be trash.)
Another experiment is to take the camera and flash into a very dark room and with the flash turned on, half-press the shutter to see if it throws the reddish autofocus assist beam.

I tried all those things above that you mentioned, to no avail. Thank you.
A new friend of mine lent me his Speedlite 430EX to test on my camera and it's not firing either. I guess there is something wrong with my camera.
I appreciate all your suggestions.
