Shutter problem

I'm shooting the comet, right now, and the shutter on my K-1 just stopped working. I've tried pulling the battery, all sorts of things. No luck. I got a few photos then it crapped out. Any ideas? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mai
