UDATE ON MIRROR FLOP REPAIR
Believe it or not, I have my K5 back only after 6 days and that includes the time it took to ship, repair and sent back to me !!!
This was at Pentax Canada, Mississauga, Ontario -- from Québec, Canada and back.
I have this below to report as "repair", but I find it strange that this was the actual cause of a mirror flop !!
Whether it has been fixed for good, no idea, but I tested a few shots this evening before it got too dark and it seems to be good.
So, the repair "list":
- release button assembly
- cleaned and adjusted
- rewrite CPU flash data
- and then .... in a little corner in very small print, get this : "re-do repair"
- apparently they had to redo some repair job from the previous repair which was involving a "battery depleted" issue.
At that time (first repair for the "depleted battery"), the following was done:
- mirror motor assembly
- release SW
-digital miscellaneous
I am hoping that this will be it since I had this K5 repaired twice in 2 and a half months only.
