It turns out that my camera isn't broken.
A friend posted a question about cleaning dust off her sensor. I turned
on my K-x to see what Dust Alert was called in the menu, and it was
exhibiting a very weird problem, not unlike I was having with the K-5.
I then realized that my 16-50 was on the K-x. The lens that I didn't
send in for repair because the problem turned out to be the switch in
the wrong position. Turning off autofocus seemed to solve the problem.
I then swapped lenses and the camera started working again.
I put another lens on my K-5, and that is now working properly. The
problem with the camera acting like one of the control buttons being
held down isn't a problem with the camera, but with the lens.
So, I guess that it is going in to Precision after all.
