Thanks for the re-post. I am giving it to a Pentax repair, but my only thoughts were that it might be software problem and need some sort of "re-boot", hence the post on this board.

Thanks for the replies,

Camera will not power on - lens stuck in zoom - on position, I have already replaced battery.

Pressing "ON" button will cause it to beep twice then nothing.

If you press "ON" button with "Menu" button Screen will say " Version 1.0" for a few seconds then again nothing.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Nik
