Final update: Received my brand new k3ii body today, standard packaging straight from overseas. I did have to call them a week or two ago after going a few weeks with out word or the return label. That lead to a couple day wait while they figured out who it was that told me I would be getting this camera and getting me the label. I am instantly back in love with my k3 I have missed it so much these last two months.
Great to hear.

K3ii weather seal at power button failed

Howdy folks;

I had my K3ii out in the rain for a couple hours last winter.
When I got home I dried it off. Then it wouldn't turn off.

Clearly something was up with the power switch.

After several more tries, it finally turned off but wouldn't turn back on.
So I let it sit for a month - I didn't put it in desiccant.

After a month, the power switch began to work properly. All is well.
Ah, but no. Now if I leave a battery in it, it drains out in a day - with the power off.

The easy solution is to not leave a battery in when not in use.

But I'm seriously considering sending it out.
