water damage to my friends digital camera
Hi!
First first first first--get the battery or batteries out of the camera!! The sooner you do this, the better for everything involved. Second--remove the memory card from the camera and look for any backup batteries. Since it fell into a dog bowl, putting it into a bowl of clean distilled water might be a very good idea to help flush any crud out of it. You can't make things any worse at this point. Third--Dry the camera as best you can. Then put it in a moderately sunny place or somewhat near a heat vent. Let it rest for a few days. Fourth--put the battery back in and you might get very lucky. If the camera doesn't work at that point, you are probably out of luck. The key here is to get the battery or power source removed as soon as it is possible to do so safely. William |

Corrosive damage to the electronics begins almost immediately, and if the camera happens to be on at the time, irreprarible damage occurs pretty quickly. She'll probably end up buying her mom a new camera. Try the blow dryer, open every door, compartment, etc. remove the mem card and blow warm air in for several hours, not too hot, good luck. I tried to save an old 3MPXL Kodak camera that was rained on. No good, all kinds of corrosion on the boards, totally fubar . . . Regards, Tom |

Some household insurance policies cover damage of this type. You'd be surprised how many remote controls get chewed by dogs. Many policies exclude damage by pets, best to tell the insurance company it was damaged by an adult. Ron(UK) |

And, then, expect to have your policy rate increase dramatically on the next renewal -- or learn that you will not be renewed. |

It wasn't the dog that borrowed the camera and got careless
