Well, luckily my squaretrade warranty is still good (until April of next year). I purchased it when I bought the k-s2 used around April of 2021.
An SD card will either not eject or when I put one in, then the spring pushes it back out and it won't be accepted - a mechanical issue (maybe a spring problem).
This problem occurred about a year ago and I filed a claim, but it started working ok again, so I opted not to let them put a monkey wrench on it.
But I decided this evening, that I'd send it in. Especially since the 2 year warranty I bought is running out & since it's a K-S2 then it's not overly valuable....
I decided I would post here, just to let everyone know, and I'll update this thread to let peeps here in the community know how it goes. I think Square Trade sends it to the Pentax authorized repair center. Square Trade is an Allstate company. Anyone that has had experience with them, do tell....
Sincerely,
Michael

Update: Allstate approved the repair and sent a FEDEX label for Precision Camera in CT. I was actually surprised they reviewed and approved the claim on a Friday evening after business hours.

Update: The instructions said to install the battery when shipping & even include the charger. But I've already wrapped the darn thing in bubble wrap & have made a personal decision to just send it without the battery. I suspect they have Pentax type batteries to use if need be. Those are Allstates instructions, I'm sure Precision can figure it out.
