The beeps mean that there is a printed cicuit error. At least that is what Pentax told me. The only solution is to send it back for repair and hope the repair costs less than a new camera.The beeps mean that there is a printed cicuit error. At least that is what Pentax told me.

I have the same problem with mine!
I have been told to send the camera in to be repaired. Ugh!!
I know there is a hidden diagnosic screen, but Pentax is not allowed to reveal how it is done.
Does anybody out there know how?

You may need to format the SD memory chip. It's on page 158 in the User Manual. If you don't have a manual you can download it here.

The memory chip maybe full or appear full to the camera and will only show pictures in playback mode.

The manual is a bit confusing. I do have a power shot, but is is a bit younger. My camera does have 2 On buttons. One to put it in shooting mode. And one to set it in display mode. If I press the display button (arrow right) the lens stays where it is and I only can see pictures I took. When I press the on off button the lens comes out.
I think you only have to switch the main dial to the camera logo (shooting Mode) and then press the Disp button, to shoot pictures and if you want to view pictures, you turn the dial to playback Mode (arrow to the right) and press the Disp button.
If it works, no fix, just knowledge about how the camera works. It is all in the manual.
Press Menu button, select Playback icon by up/down buttons and press OK (shutter) button to get in playback mode. There are few icons like self timer, movie recording mode, delete all files, delete single file/ picture etc. Please click HERE to download user manual copy that has mode details of icons in camera OR click Vivitar Support link and put camera model number to proceed. Thanks.
Press RECORD/PLAY Button to switch from Record Mode to Playback Mode.
The Playback Mode is for viewing and managing movies and pictures as well as listening to voice and
music on the built-in memory or on an optional memory card.
