I'm sorry to report that my K110D no longer functions:
- shutter won't release - manual, bulb, auto
- no autofocus activity
- no focus indication
although
- camera powers on
- display seems to work OK
- flash pops up in low light
- mirror lock-up for sensor cleaning works
- without lens attached, shutter fires
JFTHOI, I've tried:
- cleaning battery terminals
- different (charged) batteries
- making sure lens is in A position
- manual focus mode
- different lens
- different SD card
- resetting menus to original factory settings
I should note that I recently bought (from a pawn shop on fleaBay) what was supposed to be a Pentax mount (Tamron) lens, but only after trying unsuccessfully to mount it, I discovered it was actually a Nikon mount. (:-( I wonder if trying to mount the wrong lens might have shorted something out in the camera electronics. (:-(
Local camera store (Mike's in Boulder) repair department says they can only fix very basic DSLR issues but electronics-related problems have to go to Pentax Service (in nearby Westminster; alas, no walk-in drop-off (:-( ).
Anyway, before I send this off to Pentax for an estimate, I'd be most grateful for any suggestions of other things to try to get this camera working. Wondering if there's some sort of hard reset (as, for example, in Palm PDAs, or power management reset, as in Macs). Any point in trying to reinstall firmware?
