This isn't the answer to your question, but I could overnight you one of my backup bodies (or better yet sell you my K-3 with overnight postage). Alternatively this could be a great opportunity for you to upgrade to a K-1 if there are any available in LA.

Upon arrival to Universal studios park,  I 've discovered that my camera

It showed "F--" on the display.

I've tried to clean the contacts, powercycled it by taking out the
battery... Nothing helped.

Any ideas on what could be the culprit and what I can try "in the field"?

Please cc me, if possible for the ease of reading responses on the road.

"F--" is what my K5 displays if I turn the lens aperture ring off the "A"
position (for lenses that have aperture rings, obviously), so I'd suspect
that the "A" contact on the camera body may not be working.
