The camera fires up after 5-6 times but not fully working. For example
some times only the power light will turn on without the screen
some times the power light and the screen won't turn on but the autofocus and shutter button will work (???)
some times if I am lucky, power switch and screen will turn on
Today I managed to clean the switch and the battery connectors with alcohol but no luck...
My last hope is that it is the batteries fault...
All of the batteries I tested were bought 3 years ago (sanyo eneloops) but my charger indicator says all of them are about 2000mah and 1.40-1.50V fully charged
I ordered some new ones to give it a try.
I was thinking it was time to upgrade my pentax. I already have 5 lenses so I wont change brand.
K50 has really good specs but can you view the focus rectangle through the viewfinder??

Can I unscrew the switch and clean it with some alcohol (or vinegar?) or will I have to take the whole camera apart?

My Kx will some times take 5-6 tries to turn on after I flip the power switch on-off repeatedly.
The weird fact is that some times while the screen and power light is on and pushing the shutter button will shoot photos but the screen is off and the text in the viewfinder is off!
I checked with several batteries and also cleaned the connector as proposed in another topic here but no result.
The batteries were in good condition with voltage for each from about 1.42V to 1.50V (checked with my charger).
