Aleic, There's a potentially easy fix. Take the camera to the nearest oven and put the oven on 200 with the door slightly open. Try the camera after about 10-15 minutes and see if it works.

If the chlorene isn't too bad the water will evaporate and won't leave you w/o a camera. This happened to an old motorolla cellphone I had when I was fishing back in college. Long story short, the phone lasted another ~18 months w/o incident.

Bro you have the worst luck. I don't know if I can hang around you anymore. I'm worried it might start rubbing off. I feel like I've said this before sorry to hear about you luck. When do you come back?

Thinking about it maybe your luck is rubbing off.
I think I just figured out why my G is misfiring. Aleic rode in it!

or try this get a can of Electrowash rinse off your camera. If u let the pool water evaporate u might leave behind a residue. Is your camera insured??

Aleic, I am sorry for your loss. I'm sure if you cooked up some good steaks, your spirits will rise up and you will live happily ever after.

yeah butthe benefit to buying an expensive camera is u always look good in the pics which isnt easy for me. Anyways its 89 here today and after 5 days of drinking we are taking it easy today. 2 more days to go sadly. Wonder if I could get a job here. I hope those of you who have an invite to the party next week plan on being there !!!!!!!!

Sean if I recall it was my precise driving instruction and barking orders for you to shift were the prime reason for our victory. So it would seem my luck is not all that bad

If that happened to a friend of mine this is what he would do. Go buy the same exact camera, take it home, put the broken one in the box, and return it for a refund. Now you have a brand new camera.

I don't know how he gets away with things like that, but he does it all the time.

Depends on how its broke....i worked at retail places like Best Buy....if the box is somehow dripping wet from the inside, they might not take it back. If they take it out and see that it wont turn on and everything seems functional then the little highschool chick who knows none the wiser is forced to take it back.

Still, its immoral & virtual theft

Hopefully your engine builder is more honest than this "friend" of yours. Things like this usually have a way of biting people in the ****. It's the old saying... "what comes around..."
