Default Problems with external flash

I'm hoping some of you photogs might be able to shed some "light" on my problem, so to speak.

I have an SB-400 that I've used for about 2 years on my Nikon D40. Now, it's no longer working, and I've tried numerous batteries that I'm sure are fully charged. Has anyone had trouble with an external flash failing?

I'm not sure whether it's the flash or a problem with the hot shoe -- my dad has the exact same setup so I could try his flash on my camera and vice versa to isolate the problem, but it'll be a few weeks before I get down there. I know I could also take it to a camera store and have them look it over, but that's a fairly daunting task with three little ones in tow ...

Any ideas?
