Mind quit in a similar fashion. Pentax wanted $65.00, so I got the Sigma whatchmacallit to replace it.

I briefly considered disassembly here to see if I could fix it myself but decided there was a 1 in a 1000 chance that I'd be able to fix it and a 1 in 2 chance that I'd break it even worse. I didn't like those odds. I'll report back when I hear from Pentax. Thank you to those who offered suggestions. Thank you to the rest of you for not busting by stones.
