I decided to return the camera after a long conversation with a Pentax technician, who suggested an faulty electronic shutter speed control board too.
Thanks to all your advices, I hope to have more luck with my next LX order :)

Yes, I know that. It is just the 1/30 and 1/60 in manual selection mode, that aren't working and the mirror and shutter get stuck completely. Everything slower works fine. In Aperture Priority Mode both 1/30 and 1/60 are closing the mirror and shutter, but it feels like the exposure time is way too long for a 1/30, seems to be open more like a 1/8.

I've tried it with two types of batteries now, both of them brand new (Cr1/3 N and 2x LR44). The camera also doesn't indicate any low battery, light meter is working fine and all electronic shutters below 1/30 are working as well. It's just the two shutters 1/60 and 1/30. At 1/60 I sometimes works, but very irregular and on 1/30 the mirror and shutter is always stuck.

Hey guys,
I've just bought a Pentax LX a few days ago in pretty good conditions and from a later batch (SN beginning with 53), but noticed, that shutter speeds 1/30 and 1/60 cause really weird problems and are nearly unusable.
When I'm shooting on them in manual mode, the mirror and shutter get stuck and keep open until I'm slightly rotating the shutter wheel again. In automatic mode they are closed again, but it still seems, that they keep on opening way to long, like a 1/8.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this and is it part of the commonly known mirror stuck problem of the LX or something different?
I would really like to keep my configuartion of the LX, so I hope its fixable.
Thanks a lot for your help!
