If it won't fire, it's either the circuit was fired, or poorly repaired before. There are many wires connected to the button underneath. The switch on the Battery Pack A could be broken quite easily as well (but could be fixed). And the worst of all, there is a rubber inside the MDA act as a cushion which could get sticky due to age. Replacement from Pentax might not be available, but u can custom made it yourself (I did and worked). Sticky rubber can slow down the winding speed significantly, or won't fire at all. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
