When my Pentax do that, it means the battery is weak or the lens come across some dust, grits or whatever that prevents it from extending fully.

Weak battery is easy to solve, just recharge the battery. But lens cannot extend fully is often difficult to solve, DIY style.

There are some ' home brew ' methods to help the motor to extend/retract the lens. It is not known whether yours cannot extend at all or extends a bit and retracted again into the camera body.
Let us know more and we will see which ' home brew ' method suits you best.

Hi bukit97, I have the same problem as gracie. I have replaced the battery with a fully charged brand new unit and I still have the same problem. Can you tell me about the 'home brew' methods to help extend/retract the lens please?
