Problem with Pentax 100-300mm

I recently bought a Pentax SMC 100-300 f4.7/5.8 FA lens for £30 from E-Bay, however when I mounted it onto either my K7 or K3, it does not seem to be connecting electronically because the auto focus does not work and there is no aperture display on the top plate display and the camera treats it as a manual lens and asks for the focal length input. Is it a bad contacts or the lens motor that has failed? Any ideas please?
