Trouble with Pentax WG3

Hi vilo,

I bought the camera in Pixmania with an insurance that allow me to return the product and get a full refund in case of technical failure during the first year. So, that's what I did.

I can't tell you what was wrong with the camera, but from my internet research, I think it had something to do with the zoom.

Regards and hope you have better luck than myself.

I've called Technical Service (from Colombia to UK, I don't wanna see the bill...) and they told me that nothing can be done but send the camera to them. So, I have to wait until I'm back home. Goodbay adventure pics... I've bought a new camera, but a regular compact one, and I don't see it surviving the rainforest.

Sorry for the crying, but I'm really pissed off.

If interested I'll tell you what was wrong with the camera once it's repaired. Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

Yep. I remove the cable before pushing the on/off button.

The firmware can be reinstalled?

BTW Adam, thanks a lot for your time.

I think it can't be the battery. I've keep the camera plugged until the green light on the on/off button stopped blinking. And, still doing the same thing. Is there any way to do a full reset of the camera?

Honestly, I don't think so. The camera has been charging for more than one hour and still the same...

But I'm in a country with 110V, so I'm starting to doubt if the power suply is high enoug for the camera.

Hi,

I really need help. I don't know why, my Pentax WG3 GPS doesn't starts up. It shows the "PENTAX" start screen for about 6 - 7 seconds, and then it "beeps" three times and shuts down.

I've tried to connect it to a PC and something even strange happens. If I remove the USB cable, the camera stands on play mode, but if I switch to capture mode, the camera shuts down.

I'm totally desperate, I'm in holidays, so you can imagine how frustrating can be not having a camera.

Please, please, help!

Thanks and regards,
