I posted something a few moths ago that sparked the usual discussion among the informed. the verdict was that the pentax tech was not telling the truth. I don't care who ultimately knows better but the pentax tech said to leave it on a powered on camera for some time without trying to make it focus and then to exercise it manually for a bit. according to the pentax tech this technique will work if the drive hasn't failed but is electrically discharged from sitting on a shelf for too long and needs recharging plus also some help with overcoming stiction. heck, you could give it a try =) Ecke
