some trials ...
- booting with the MODSET.492 file and +/- pressed, and card door open (or not), the result is the same ("COMMAND: 00 HEX"), but the red led (near LV button) blink once.
- also tried the command [OPEN_DEBUG_MENU], with no different result
- other thing, when the camera is off, when i insert a SD card, the message "BOARD TEST START" is displayed.
It seems firmware is really broken. I will try with a repair service ...
Thank you for all.
Make sure that the MODSET.492 file is in the root directory of the SD card. It can not be in the DCIM, or any other folder.
I would try to download the latest firmware update for you camera. Pentax packages firmware updates in self-extracting zip files. Download the file from the Ricoh website. Double click on the file to run it. Find the resulting xxxx.BIN file and copy it to the root directory of the SD card.
Put the SD card in the camera and turn it on. A normally functioning camera will detect the xxxx.bin file and load the new firmware.
