G'day,

I'm trying to enter my late model SV (Sn. 1940838) in the Pentax Serial Number Database, but I keep getting an error saying that the serial is invalid and must be 6 digits... Help please!

Thanks, Nick

I've now enabled longer numbers, so this should now go through

Nope. I've logged in and out, restarted the browser, resubmitted the form and it still says it requires 6 digits.

Strange- it looks like the change wasn't registered. Please try again now.

Hi Adam,

I just tried to enter another SV, this time an early example with a 6 digit serial. Now I'm getting an error saying it needs to be 7 digits... Can this be fixed or do I just add a '0' at the start?

Prefixing it with a 0 is the way to go.
