Thank you, John, Larry, and P.J, for your responses.
Cleaning/inspecting contacts and deep-power-cycling didn't help.
Upon coming home and inspecting the camera mount carefully, I could not
see any visible problem with the contact.
Besides displaying "F--", the camera refuses to do any operation that
requires the lens. (I.e. no shutter activation, etc.) So, I suspect, it is
not just the "A" contact, but something more, probably happened to the
main board.
Argh...
Now, I am considering my options: trying to repair this camera, getting
a K-3, or even a K-1 (most likely used). This "forced" upgrade was
not planned or budgeted...

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.
