I'm not familiar with your camera so I'm not aware of any inherent problems with this model, but you could check the following general items:

1: Does the battery need replacing ? If its more than a year or so old and the camera has had regular use it probably does. Have you replaced the battery?
2: Is there any obvious sign of corrosion or contamination on either the battery contacts or the battery compartment of the camera which might cause a bad contact ?
3: Is the battery charging correctly? Are you able to check its charging/charged voltage with a meter?
4: Has the camera ever been dropped or subjected to any other abuse that might have damaged it ?
5: Is it still in warranty ? If so, take it back to the shop from where you bought it or contact Pentax Service Department.
