Hooray!!!!!
we are in business, thanks guys for all the info.
I ordered a Japanese solenoid from an ebay seller and when it came it blew my mind.
How will a sausage fingered individual solder wires onto a piece of high tech a quarter the size of a postage stamp!
I bottled it and took it to my electronic engineer brother (retired). He enjoyed the challenge.
When we switched it on nothing happened until I put the camera onto video mode and there was a click from within, returned to photo mode and we were away.
Hopefully, it will be a while before anything else goes wrong.
NB the old solenoid was solid when removed and the replacement had the inner fall out when unwrapped.
many thanks for your knowledge guys, fantastic response for a newbie's question, thanks again

I have uploaded a picture and checked the info, don't know what I am looking for so screenshotted it for you to see, Is there anywhere in the UK that I can buy the white solenoid as the one on the link is in the states and postage is 33% on top of the purchase price, thanks

Yes, thanks, I have had a look and hoped I wouldn't have to strip out the camera but would be happy to do so as a last resort, If I stripped it out I could see if the solenoid worked by putting a voltage across it,
A solenoid is an electric switch so should either work or not, has anyone done this and what power should I use without frying it. The power pack for the camera is 7.5 Volt.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I found two reset areas in the menu, I reset both (1 in page 3 of Spanner menu and 1 in page 4 of the "C" menu) neither said factory settings.
I have fiddled with the above settings with no success, the lens was purchased as part of the camera - Pentax 18-55
Don't know where to go from here

I have a K-S1 and it was working fine, I have played around a bit with settings whilst not really knowing what I was doing.
I tried taking pictures recently and all I get is very dark pictures, I mean real dark, only just see an image.
I have tried to reset the camera and it makes no difference, the video mode allows me to see an image ok.
Please help, my grand daughter has just got her first camera and wants us to go out snapping and I am embarrassed to say I have messed up big time.
Thanks in advance
