Hi everyone. I decided to join today (after a few years of 'lurking') since I've just passed 3 years since replacing my K50 solenoid. Camera has worked perfectly since then.
I never would have tried that repair without the great instructions on this forum. I'll look for that forum again & post a few details there. I've really enjoyed the various reviews here, and the helpful comments from so many users.
Cheers, John.

Hi photogem et al. I can report another successful solenoid replacement in a K50. My camera was producing the 'dark images' described by many users here. Shutter count was ~1850 when it became too annoying to tolerate any longer. My donor camera is an istDS; I used the solenoid from the flash actuator, and put the green solenoid from the K50 in there. This was 3 years +3days ago; now I am at ~5040 shots, with no problems since. I was thrilled that it worked. My soldering skills are rudimentary, due to shaky fingers and poor closeup vision. But the camera was worthless without the repair, and now I can do my focus stacks. Thanks so much! John
