Where did you read that?
I believe you are spreading wrong information.
The readme file that comes with the update only excludes one case from warranty, this is if you are using not fully charged batteries.
Originally posted by rodneya My K100D did the same thing, and Pentax would not quote repair without me sending it to them. I did a search on here and repairs are $350.00. Thats more than twice what the body is worth.
But who said they will charge that price?
Do you still have the camera?
