Congrats. In retrospect, probably the most likely thing, since
ICs rarely go bad.
Unfortunately your original question is probably unanswerable.
It's likely a custom IC cooked up for Pentax, or best case it's a
general-purpose programmable logic type device that's been cooked up with
proprietary info. Neither case is very encouraging.
Fortunately, you don't care anymore... :)
