Solenoid identifying
I bought my K70 in Nov 2018 and it started to show signs of solenoid problems in Oct 2021 and finally becoming so bad as to make the camera unusable in Dec 2021.
The good news is the defective solenoid can be replaced, either by someone like John Pye or if you are careful with a fine soldering iron by yourself.
My previous post on how to replace the solenoid:-

K1000, Espio 140, ist, istD, K70, K3iii and numerous lenses, just don't tell my wife.
Really must get my sensible head back on.
Life will be far more fun if you don't ... trust me!
