Hi Drew

thanks for the tips

I tried what you suggested including turning on while holding menu button
- still nothing

Pentax UK said to send it in - it could be internal battery or sthg but Ive decided not to pair for repair and get a new camera instead

Cheers
Ed

Hi

I have an ist DS I bought in Japan 3 years ago

The batteries run out a couple of months ago and when i put new ones in

The Initial settings came up - as followed

Initial settings
Language/ English
DST New York with a box to tick

Menu cancel Ok ok


The problem is I press OK and nothing happens except a clicking sound

Other buttons - menu etc dont do anything either

Display on top of camera just has the battery charged sign which is full and a square bottom left

Have switched it off and on again - There is no lithium back up battery

Havent yet tried other batteries - but were fresh from shop so am baffled
if anyone can help I would appreciate it

Thanks
Ed
