Your question is a bit ambiguous. I would say first, add fluid, make sure the fluid has soaked into the cotton, and keep the lid shut for a min before lighting. If that does not work then I would suggest moving the wick to the flint, this can be done by using a key and pushing the cotton-metal wick towards the spark end of the Zippo. Suppose that does not work... you can always purchase zippo parts from a cigar shop and they will be more than willing to help you if you buy a pack of smokes from them! Last case buy a cheap zippo and put the center pice into yours... it will work fine and you will have your zippo art with a genuine zippo center!
Remember if you have a problem with your official zippo, then they all have a lifetime guarantee, so you can always send it back to your regional zippo centre.
