My husband bought a Pentax Optio M20 LAST 2006. Most of the time it won,t turn on.On other instances,it turns on briefly and after taking about 3 pictures it turns off automatically. The batteries are new and tried other brands too. The camera is "abnormally warm". I dont know if its draining the batteries. Can it be fixed?

Take out the batteries and clean contacts with alcohol and a Q-tip the long ones like a doctor uses are better. If the batteries are more
than two years old I would replace them. I take it that this camera
probably uses AA. Reg. Alkaline batteries would be alright just to
try it with if you get it working then I would put a set of lithium batteries in it as these last far longer.You can also buy rechargeable AA batteries. If it has a lithium L-Ion rechargeable battery pack and it
is several years old you may want to buy a new one for it. There is
several reasonable sellers on Ebay with the proper battery for your camera. If this don't solve your problem I would say the camera is done. In my experience these new cameras just don't last as long as the old manual film cameras.
Make sure the batteries are good. If the batteries are brand new, then it must be something with the camera, and you should take it in and have it looked at. Good luck.
you have a timing problem,the gears for your housing is out of calibration with your focus lens inside of the housing. you must take the camera apart to correct the problem.there is a flywheel type of ajustment in the top of the camera that can be turned to bring the camera back to its reset position. it is bad to keep turning on the camera as this may danage the gear that is out of time.
This kind of problem seems, may only leave one solution and that is to sell it at some site such as Ebay for parts, as is, or repair.
After saying that, you can try a wall transformer made for that camera. If the camera starts with an adapter, it could have a problem in the battery circuit.
Maybe. But it does seem to be a lens problem. Possibly the lens is out of sync as mentioned in another post here.If there is a grinding, the lens is probably damaged by dirt or sand. Make sure the batteries or battery is fully charged.
