WATER + ELECTRONICS = ...HELP!


Question Posted Saturday September 1 2007, 9:48 am

So last night i went in my poool and i tried a 'top model' picture underwater.IT didn't work so i tried a nex one with me floating.......and when i was regaining my balance, my hand dips into the water twice....and the cam was in my hand. Yeah i know i'm stupid for carrying my cam in the pool but i need help fixng it. WILL cam fixers be able to fix it? I blow dried it.Last night when it cooled off it worked like a darling. But this morning the pictures come out black. Absolutely no sign that i was aiming for a picture. I'm pretty bummed...so what's your best advice for me?

Immediately remove the battery. The reason water destroys electronics is that it short-circuits; if you remove the CMOS battery you could swim with your computer.

Since you've waited so long, it's probably lost, but if you remove the battery and let it sun dry for a couple of days, it may still work.

This might not help you much- but I just gotta say this. It isn't trying to mock you in anyway. I just want to educate you on something.


Next time don't blow-dry an electronic device, especially after it had gotten wet- which probably isn't why the camera is messed up. I've dropped my phone in water before- and it still worked after. Blow-drying things isn't the smartest thing to do- next time towel-dry and just let it sit and dry. Taking out your batteries and memory card is a good idea too- as the blow-drying probably fried one of them or something.

I don't know what "Cam Fixers" is- but I guess you could try it. Maybe Radio Shack also?
