Espio 928 error code H1 and H2

Help

My trusted Pentax Espio 928 shows an error code H1 and H2. The lens housing won't retract and the film won't rewind. I have changed the battery but it hasn't helped.

Would appreciate some suggestions.

Roj,

Error codes are listed Here! under the FAQ section of the main website.

It's a shutter related fault

Matt

hey, did u find out howmuch it cost you to fix the shutter problem ??

Same problem happened to my 928 at the weekend H1 H2 error codes. This is my second Espio the first one, a W, flashed up an HL error code.
Does anyone know how much it will cost to repair?

Hi,
The Pentax UK site gives a guide price of £50 for a "standard" repair for the zoom compacts including the 928. This would include a repair for error codes. If it were me, I would have a look on eBay for whats on offer. A short while ago I got an "as new" 120Mi for £20. This was lucky and they normally go for £30- £45. Some go for more but if you are patient, you could get a better camera for about half the cost of a repair. Certainly the 928 and similiar seem to go for less. A 928 sold last week for £14.99 and there is one on offer starting at £14.99 here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3334&item=38135...

At these prices, I wouldn't consider a repair.

Kim

Thanks for the info Kim

This cost me 200 kuai- that's about £16 - in China... needs a part replacing inside- a ribbon and whatever that moves as the zoom moves in and out.

This is the second Pentax zoom 90 IQ that I have had that had H 2 and or H3 errors. It has cost too much for the nature and frequency of the problem and Pentax should own up to a faulty design and repair all failures at no cost.
