Originally posted by Adam Is the battery inserted backwards? I know it's possible to insert it backwards into the grip, not sure about the body though.
Battery only can only install and lock in place in one direction.

Originally posted by ScooterMaxi Jim Is the shutter in midcycle? If the mirror is down, you probably have some hope to revive it. By chance do you have another battery you can try using? In any event, give it a day or two. I have heard of dSLRs coming back from a coma after a day or two.
The mirror is all the way down. I've already tried a second battery with no luck.

Pentax suggested Precision Camera as a source for repair. Has anyone used this repair facility in the past and if you have what were your impression. Are there any other suggested repair facilities?
