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

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
