Not related!
The ON/OFF Switch of your K5 can collect dirt.
For a short solution, protect your K5 well (against water intrusion).
I do it with tape and plastic-foil.
Then hold it under warm water and switch on and off
But the best solution you find here:
Manual/Repair/clean On-Off-Switch / Shutter-Release-Button - PentaxForums.com
The SD-card not popping out is something that happens sometimes with age, it is wear of the pop-out mechanism.
But it can be related to the card being to thick or that the paper is lose. Try with another card, best are Sandisc!
