My camera won't turn on

I was using my camera today and it shut off on its own with the lense out. I thought that maybe it had to do with the batteries so I charged a new set and put it in but it still wouldn't turn on. I also tried to plug it in to the usb cord for my computer and it still wont turn on. The camera is not damaged in any way, so I'm not sure what the problem could be or how I can fix this? Is there some way to repair it or reset the whole camera?

Which digital camera can fit Albinar ADG lens 80-200mm ?

I bought my wife a Pentax body for Christmas from Adorama.com. She had several Pentax lenses for her old 35mm and I didn't want to have to replace 4 lenses. It is the Pentax K-x. The lenses fit and eventually I figured out how to get the camera to actually permit me to USE it. (hint: switch to M and change the focal switch to MF... for some reason I thought there was something i changed in the menu as well, but can't find the setting). The only thing I don't like about the K-x is that it uses AA batteries and even NiMH rechargeable batteries don't last long. Maybe look for one with a rechargeable lithium battery. HTH

My camera lense won't go in. Everytime I switch it

Your batteries are too low.
When you switch on the camera, the lense go in. Then lense comes out fully. Then, if the batteries are low, lense goes in and camera turns off.
But if the batteries are too low, camera turns off before the lense retracts or even before the lense comes out fully.

Easiest solution is to get a USB card reader and then use that to transfer the data - the PC will just see the card as an extra drive.

You are correct. The lens is faulty and there's nothing you can do to fix it as it needs professional attention. Contact the seller immediately to try and get a return authorisation and refund.

Broken Camera

It''s the battery..you need to buy rechargable batteries or lithium batteries. These batteries are specialied made for digital cameras. The lense is shutting off and or stuck because there isnt enough power/energy from the batteries. This is also a COMMON problem in these specific models! You can buy recharge batteies wityh the chrager and like 4 aa batteries for around $20.00 at wal-mart..Energizer is a nice one that plugs right into your wall outlet to recharge. My camera Samsung diximax D53 Works great now taht O realized it was teh batteries..No vody told em, and it doesnt specify which batterios to use in teh camera manual..at least I dont think..I even thought the camera came with regular alkaline batteries ( the ones taht wont work fior this camera)?
