Hi every one
For several month, my pentax k10 is off, it looked like an empty battery, i thought it was an issue with the battery and i changed it without result, yesterday i changed the battery charger but same thing, icon of empty battery still on the k10.
What can i do ?
Regards

Sounds like you need to get a new battery. Letting an old battery sit with no charge can ruin it.

I never found the battery charge indicator very accurate on my K10D. Does the camera power up and can you take photos? Does the flash charge and work?

They may be a bit worse than Pentax, so buy 2.

Perhaps cleaning / scratching of the cameras battery contacts help.
