when trying to take pic 'H3' error appears and display screen! Makes wiring noise. It's not battery or anything else I can think of. Any suggestions??? Please help

Zal,
an H error message means you have a problem with the shutter mechanism. Send the camera to Pentax for repair - should cost approx £50 and includes a full service and six month warranty.
I've just had a 120 repaired (rewinding problem) and it's now as good as new.
It was a bit of a toss-up as to whether or not it was worth it, as a new Espio 115V (roughly equivalent in terms of specification), is now readily available for £79.99 from most suppliers or £69.99 from Jessops.
I'm glad I got it fixed though as my 120 is the DATE version and is a lovely little camera.

Good Luck.
Die my dear doctor, that's the last thing I shall do!
