...also explains my somewhat smaller collection of the same as well as a YN560 TXII to tie them together when appropriate. The speedlights are inexpensive and sturdy and can easily be applied to tasks where P-TTL would be a pain or used along with P-TTL or auto-thyristor for some subjects.

Quite possibly right, though my suspicions would have been with a power problem as originally described, not the gearing. After the solid whack on the side, it is hard to say. If the flash will not power on, even with fresh alkaline cells, it is pretty safe to call it toast. There is no harm done in getting some repair bids. That failing, you have the following options:- Replace with a suitable new or used Pentax-brand P-TTL flash or 3rd-party equivalent
- Change your flow to use any of the available manual flash systems
If replaced with new, an extended bump and spill warranty might be a good idea. Long-term dependability of flash units under heavy use has long been a problem. They tend to get banged around more that the other pieces of kit and even the most expensive are of relatively light build.
