Pentax Q 06 lens died on me today

I was out, was about to use it and AF can no longer happen. It just won't. Thinking the contacts could use a cleaning, did that and nothing.

Weird thing- sometimes when I turn on the camera and try to auto focus the lens does a weird "Atari 2600" sound in a sequence- very low volume. I can only imagine this means something to Pentax Repair.

The lens as it is fly by wire manual focus, can't manual focus either. Bummer, I was planning to take some shots today.

Last good shot taken with it (see below). This is the perfect excuse to jump to another system but I Think I am going to repair it anyway. If the bill is to high, then I'll take that as a hint.

Last good shot taken with it:
