Camera dropped from my pocket into the ocean... it fell between a bunch of boulders and about 7 feet down. We dove down and had it out between 10 and 15 min after it fell. Let it sit in white rice for 1.5 days then: Battery still works great along with the memory card. When the battery is put into the camera the only thing that happens is the bright red light on the front of camera turns on. I'm not hopeful but any suggestions would be great. I'm planning on taking it apart and cleaning it all but other then that unsure on what to do. Thanks!
Taking it apart and cleaning it is not going to fix this. White rice may remove excess moisture, but does nothing for the salt. You can't clean corrosion that has already begun. As the camera is not currently working, the damage has already been done.

I just repaired my Canon G2 with the same symptom. The internal PCB that you plug the external AC adapter is defective. The numbers on the board are:
GCMK-M1X

Take a picture with the camera and download it. If the pictures also shows up white then this probably is a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:

SOURCE: Memory card error message
Cards are coming in different formats and it might be possible that you brought a card which is not suitable or functional with your camera. The other reason could be that we are having options to lock our memory card in digital camera and you might have taken out your earlier card without unlocking it. The system might be broken from inside and this could be a reason that you are still getting a message that memory card is locked. It seems possible based on problem you are sharing.
