volcanic ash
My digital camera has volcanic ash in it (don't ask, it was a camping trip) and now it won't work. The kind of camera I have is the kind where the lens in hidden inside the camera, but when you turn it on it appears. Well know, it will appear then (almost) go back in again. If that makes sense.
Is there a place I can take it to get that dust out. I really miss using my camera =(
Thank you

Volcanic ash is essentially powdered glass. It's about the nastiest, grittiest, most damaging substance you can get into sensitive equipment. Your camera is probably toast, unfortunately.
If you take it to a camera repair shop, they MIGHT be able to fix it - for about the same cost as replacing it, most likely, and if I were them I wouldn't offer any guarantees. So, since you're probably going to have to replace it anyway, you might try taking it apart yourself and blowing the dust out with compressed air. Then, unless you're very very very lucky, go out and buy a new camera.
