AFAIK, the LCD uses almost nothing in the way of battery power. It's like the one on digital watches, and those last forever on small batteries. It sounds like a problem with the circuitry, so taking it to a camera repair center would probably be a good idea. I'm sure other people will give you more specific advice. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
