Ouch - that's a bummer. If you haven't done so already, check to be sure
that the camera works with the battery seated but the door ajar. I
recall someone on the list breaking the door on the SD Card chamber of
an older Pentax DSLR and finding that even though the SD card loaded
without a problem the camera still wanted the door to be shut before it
worked. Maybe Pentax reads the list and cut back on the over
engineering. Or is it enginerring.

No idea how it happened, but I know I was stupid enough to leave the

entire bottom plate replaced. Is there anywhere I can purchase the
part and replace it myself?
This is a BAD time of year for this to happen. I'm guessing I can
still use it, a spring-loaded clip holds the battery in, even with the
door open - and I think I can put the grip on it to make sure it
doesn't drop out.
