Hi Everyone, just want to share the final update to my screen not working.
Like FattyMcj they fixed my PCB, they also updated my firmware which was nice. It did take a rather lengthy 2.5 weeks but I'm just happy to have my new Pentax K-x finally working and I'm loving it.
Possibly the procedure is slower here in the UK but nevertheless it is a job well done with no hassle apart from the long wait.
Well done Pentax.
I'm off to take more photos and try out my new (old) 50mm F1.7 prime lens.
Cheers

Hi Jason
Thanks for posting the update and I'm glad everything is sorted with your camera. Think mine is going to be a few more days but looking forward to camera being fixed and getting on with taking photos, now feeling a bit more positive about the whole experience.
Cheers
Moses

Hi all
Thanks for all the replies, it is good to hear someone else had the problem - FattyMcj
I tried everything, I pride myself on solving any problem that is in my path and I don't give up easily. This including pushing and holding various buttons as I powered on, the screen did not show any sign of life from the moment the camera had batteries inserted for the first time.
I tried several batches of brand new and fully charged batteries.
I tried 2 separate memory cards.
The information in the viewfinder was spot on and the camera was able to switch through the various scene modes using the mode dial. I even took some photos and checked them on my laptop, camera in perfect condition apart from the screen not working.
I downloaded the firmware update but as someone pointed out I could not see the screen to work the sequence of buttons-this was a last resort.
So YES!! after all this it was so disappointing to finally have to pack it all back in the box and post back to Pentax :mad:

So after 15 years of photography I bought my first Pentax yesterday-a beautiful Pentax K X with twin kit lens.
The screen does not work!!! It will take photos but the screen has remained black from the first switch on. Devasted I phoned the UK hotline, they say it must be a hardware fault and send it back!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Have I made a bad decision by switching to Pentax?
Can anyone here help?
Thank you
