Try checking the thumbwheels are not 'between clicks'. This can cause issues. Then make sure all other switches are 'on' or 'off'.
Then change the memory card.
As a last resort you could re-flash the bios which will cause a hard reset

Thanks for that, I had a good fiddle and while I was pressing buttons, moving thumbwheels, it came on...then went off again...
Turns out that it's the angle I hold it at that's causing the problem?! There must be something loose inside causing a dodgy connection... I'll have to give Pentax a ring, see if they can repair it under warranty.

It turns on, goes through it's usual boot procedures (shakes sensor and checks focus) then, nothing. It doesn't matter which buttons I press, I get no response from the LCD, it's just blank. It won't adjust focus, but it WILL take photos, for which the quick review image shows for a second on the LCD, then again, nothing!
Is there a combination of buttons to press to hard reset the camera on boot?
Thanks in advance for your help!
