that is what I was afraid of... sigh...
actually I did go to a local store, and they think is a problem with the camera's computer components (I don't know how to describe) but probably some glitch in the software of the camera is not harmonizing or using correctly the hardware : (
So I guess is time to start saving for the upgrade... and admit defeat, sell the KX for a little more than free.
Still works for Pictures, just not video : (
Thanks for your patience, help and advices : )

Thanks again for your in put in my situation. While my camera is OFF, thru the finder I see perfectly fine thru it. The lens is focused were it was left at in the previous use. With 18-55mm Kit lens, when I turn it ON the screens starts up displaying Shooting Mode (since I'm troubleshooting Aperture I'm using Av Mode)
everything seems normal... With out pressing shutter, the camera adjusts properly to light changes while moving camera around different parts of my room. But when I manually adjust the Av using the dial... No changes to the Av are apparent in the LCD, but my Shutter is adjusting according to my dial movements. When I peek thru the finder, I see my Av moving around from f3.5 ~ f22...etc. and all the while the LCD doesn't move.
When I enter Live Mode, the Av says "F--" but again the Shutter is affected by my moving around.
Seems to be working oddly!
The real trouble comes when using video mode (which I love doing occasionally). Just starting up the on Video Mode, got the "F--" (same as Live Mode), I look thru the finder, but of course is blacked out from the shutter being open for live viewing.
When I try to focus (auto focus) on something the "Pressing the shutter release button while Live View is on starts movie record function" pops up!
Have to shut off and start up again. The crazy thing is that, when I start up and switch to manual focus... it doesn't crash as often as AutoFocus, but when I start recording, it is very dark and grainy!!! Meaning the Av is close to probably f22... so the iso cranks up to highest and get the grain.
I think I might have to get this thing checked out in a local Camera Shop today after work.
If anybody has other trouble shooting tips, please post them up. I love to try to get this little beast running fully again.

thanks for the reply... since i had no idea which pin it is, I don't know if I'm moving the correct one or not. Is it the one on the bottom right side of the camera.
It is kind of flat with a point on the top? The pin is popping out now. My settings in the menu "Using aperture ring" = Permitted.
I have tried lots of lenses... but only One lens works correctly. That is an old Pentax 28-80 f3.5-5.6 Macro Lens! I never use it cause it's old and doesn't manual focus or zoom in out smoothly (very old)... but auto works slowly but surely.
Both kit lens 18-55mm & 50-200mm, also a Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 don't work properly (which is the lens I mainly use!!!). When the camera is in camera mode (not movie or live mode) making changes on aperture (manual mode) the properties don't change at all on the LCD display... but thru the view finder, I can see the changes displayed there. But again, outside nothing... even worst sometimes gets glitchy and starts panicking changing numbers like crazy, until I stop changing the aperture.
I have no idea what else to do! Any other suggestions, or perhaps explain in details how to fix the aperture pin correctly. Thanks in advance
