water all over us while the camcorder was recording.

I know very little about hard drive Camcorder. What should I do to get
it working again?

1. Claim on insurance policy.
2. Bank check from insurance company.
3. Buy new camcorder.
4. Buy water proof case for camcorder.
4. Be more careful in future.

Salt water often ruins powered-up electronics.


This lot did a feature of dunking, powered up, in fresh water , non
waterproof kit , and a surprising number worked after drying out.

But i cannot find it in their archives

But otherwise seawater over powered kit is a near no-no for repair, next
down the no-no list after, even indirect, lightning struck kit
