SOURCE: water spilled on camera

First try the obvious, and press your DISP button once with the camera turned on. If that doesn't work, next thing to try would be to reseat the LCD ribbon cable into its connector. This is not too difficult, but it does require opening up your camera. But before proceeding, note that the camera still takes pictures at this moment. There is a possibility that something might go wrong, and the camera will no longer be operational after the repair. Please remember that it's ultimately your decision to proceed with a repair.

The following webpage describes disassembly of the A520/540. If you decide to repair it, only proceed as far as the first two pictures to remove and then reseat the cable. Follow the LCD ribbon cable to where it connects to the circuit board. There should be a connector with little hinge points that you lift with your fingernail to unseat the cable. Clean and dry the exposed end of the cable with a Qtip with a single drop of rubbing alcohol. After thoroughly drying, reinsert the cable into its connector and push down on the hinge points to reseat it. Then reassemble the camera:

Also please note that there is a risk of electrical shock. Please read the following to learn how to mitigate this risk:

SOURCE: new Saeco Odeo Go has solid red exclamation mark, doesn't budge

You have to 'manually' prime the pump: When the red exclamation mark shows, press the water switch on the right side (the picture of the water drip), then open up the steam nozzle and let the machine pump hot water into a cup until the red light goes out.

It usually happens to me during text messaging. It means your messages is not sent. You can view the list at "Undelivierd Messages" (Go to Messages, then Menu->Undelivred). Make sure you have a load balance and a good signal, and retry sending.

Water spilled on the display

Not sure exactly what happened but I do know if anything wet spills on anything electronic... computer, tv, cell/mobile phone etc, I've gotten them all to work by pulling panels apart(when possible) and letting dry out and sometimes drying it with a hair dryer. Item should be left out to dry for quite a few days. Do not do this with any current hooked up.

After my daughter spilled water on the keyboad the laptop won't turn on. any ideas? thanks ely

you could try drying the laptop keyboard using a hair dryer or use a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure there is no MOISTURE in the airlines make sure you have the battery disconnected when you dry it out and clean the terminals before you plug it back in
(dont get it to hot if you use a hair dryer do it a few times and let it cool down before drying it again)
hope this helps

I spilled a bottle of water on my shift console. Our tempratures dropped and my automatic shifter is froze. Do I need to take my car to a mechanic for a fix?

You shouldnt need to, the only electronics located on the shifter are for the illumination. You should be able to heat it up with a hair dryer enough to move the shifter then dry as much of the water as possible.

Viking gas cooktop vgsu161-6b sparks continuously. There is no gas leaking. I spilled water on the controls and it is only when I turn on the 3rd knob from the top that this happens.

The water that you spilled onto the cooktop has shorted out the ignition switch in the gas control knob. Don't worry though no permanent damage has been done. Leave it unplugged from the electrical outlet for a day or two until the liquid dries out. You can manually light the burners with matches or a BBQ lighter in the meantime. If you want to try and speed up the drying process you can use a hair dryer.

I spilled some water on my tv and now the sound is broken

Turn the TV off imediately. Remove the back cover and heat up the wet area with an hair dryer to thoroughly dry the board. Then try tv again.If it doesnt solve the problem look for the board that the speaker wires connect to and replace that board..You should be able to buy online.

Laptop starting issue

Did you spill the water while you were using it or turn it on shortly after the spill? If so, you fried something. It's electronic, it doesn't mix with liquid at all, you're lucky you don't have a nice expensive door stop, use a bottle with a screw on cap if you absolutely have to have a drink while working with your laptop. Also it takes days, if not a week, for a laptop to completely dry out inside, a dryer isn't going to do much good unless you take it apart. Either deal with the issues or take it to a shop and have it diagnosed. It's going to be a hardware issue consisting of the motherboard.
