Pentax K100D Problems

I just brought my camera out of the garage after about 6months of not using it and a small move nextdoor and my camera doens't work anymore and i took it into a camerahouse here in Australia and they informed me that my mirror was up when it shouldn't be and my appature leaver was jammed and that i need to take it to a specific place to get it fixed and it could cost me alot.

The problem is a ticking sound whenever i click on anything, even cycling through the menu now i got the mirror back down into position by going to the menu and starting mirror clean or something which made it flap up and down for a few seconds then stopped but now when i turn the camera on it makes the sound pediorically without me touching anything

is there anything i can do to try and fix this at home, im not in the best way money wise as im saving to move out and i have bills to pay

cheers

This is all guesswork but try to put the camera in a warm dry place for a while. Perhaps it got moisture inside? Also, make sure that the batteries / accumulates are new / fully charged.

Good luck.
