Hello Boris: I had the same problem with my *istD, and it turned out -- as was posted a few months back, I think -- that some of the earlier assemblies had problems with the a wire burning out or some element essentially breaking. You'll have to send the camera in for repair or replacement to fix this problem. If you can live without the built-in flash, nothing else is really affected by this problem.
I bought my camera at B&H, and it happened within three weeks of the purchase. The first person I talked with said they'd replace the camera, although it turned out that if I had gotten anyone else on the phone they would have told me to deal with Pentax directly. So instead of waiting a few weeks for a repair, I got a new camera in two days.
