Here's a quick update, the camera seems to show some sign of life today. Took it out of the bag and took a photo, presuming to only see black and we got a small hint of life.
You have to squint the eyes a bit and turn the head but you can just make out two Polaroid Land Cameras, the SX-70 and Auto 215 sitting on wood shelves on a brick wall.

is it possible an extended time without a battery could've caused the caps to deplete or something to that extent? Things seem to be slowly improving but still no usable images.

is it possible this could be a problem from long term storage leading to depleted capacitors or something to that effect? Seems like the situation is slowly improving.

Sorry, that's the max resolution the forum was allowing me to upload. There was a lens mounted but it's the manual 55mm f/2.8 so it may just show up without lens data in the exif.

Here's a 30s exposure, you should be able to see the EXIF attached to the image.

looks like after a 30s exposure it is completely done, no wait for the image, pops up on screen and writes to the card as soon as the mirror and shutter close.

I went ahead and raised the image 15 stops and this managed to pull something from the image.

It's all that's happening now, every single image is completely black. I've updated firmware, reset the camera and reset the settings. I've done several battery ejects now as well. Still seeing the same results.

what I'm seeing is a 27mb photo, if I shoot raw and crank the exposure up by 5 stops it remains deep black. There's nothing in the image.

Hey all,
My 645D recently took a turn for the worst when it started capturing images with no data. The image is completely black. At first I thought this may be an aperture block failure but after removing the lens, setting it to manual and 30 second exposure I was able to confirm a few things, firstly that it’s not a shutter sync issue, secondly that the shutter hadn’t failed, thirdly that the mirror was still lifting and lastly that it wasn’t an aperture block failure. Despite 30 seconds of exposure in a well lit room where I could clearly see the sensor, there was still no image. Curious if anyone else has experienced this on a 645D or any Pentax camera.

Reset and Firmware Update are my next steps before I open it up. I'll update the forum with the results and hopefully that'll be helpful to future instances of this issue.

It starts to switch modes randomly after the camera has been on for a few minutes. Without ever touching the dial, switching between user presets, movie mode and then manual mainly. After ejecting the battery and letting it sit for a few moments, the issue goes away again for a few more minutes. Really quite an odd thing, never seen a camera behave like that. I just want to consult the older, more experienced Pentaxians before I crack into this thing, maybe it's something simpler than what I think.

Hey all!
First post on Pentaxforums but I've read around here quite a bit since I've been a Pentax owner for many years, *ist DL, K-50, K-3 II and now I've just recently acquired a K-1 with a glitch that causes it to jump through the modes, rather than defaulting to manual. Would this be attributed to this same issue or a new one all-together? I've been reading through this forum thread for a while and I'm beginning to think based on the way it acts when the dial breaks that rather than the dial this may be an issue with the ribbon cable making connection? Perhaps a loose ribbon cable?
