I had a similar problem with my LX in the past. It was I asked Pentax repair in Vancouver to correct when I had then check out my LX. The problem re-occurred after I got it back from Pentax repair. I noticed a small protrusion in the bottom of the battery compartment that was shorting out the batteries. I glued a small piece of plastic over the protrusion and corrected the problem. -- David S.
