I got a Samsung GX-1L at Goodwill the otherday for 5 bucks. Same as the *istDL2. It would not power up when you put batteries in. The battery indicator would just flash empty. As others had observed. The easy workaround I used after a few hours of frustration was quite simple. Get an A/C adapter and plug into the dc power supply 6.5V I used a panasonic cordless phone adapter @ 5v and it did the trick.. Camera will come on then and let you update the firmware to the latest version. After this point no more troubles with any battery type.
Old ass thread I know. Just thought I would let any future problem solvers know. Surprisingly even though outdated tech. I had fun ressurecting the DSLR.

Hi all, In the 80's photography was my hobby. It then became a job. In the mid 90's I put my camera down after being burnt out. If I recall correctly my last job was photographing Kyle Petty for Coors and Hooters. So after 20 some years out of the blue I bought a new Pentax K-3 DSLR. Not sure why, really. I will never take any photos for a job again. Just trying to relax. So that brings me to your Pentax Forums.
Hoping to enjoy myself,
Stingerrray
