Unfortunately, I had this problem before with a waterproof camera!

Once the water bridged the circuits, it did irreparable damage.

If it had dried out WITHOUT voltage running through the camera, it might not have caused any issues.

Best option is to remove any batteries and power cables, and let it dry out completely. Check to see if the problem persists, and if so, consult the manufacturer for a repair.

Testimonial: "thanks. its been dried out for awhile..so i guess its getting sold on ebay for parts. you were very helpful though.Thanks for your time."

Screen wont come on

Hi Rita

I would recommend for you to turn the iPad off completely and restart it. To do this you push the power button in the top right until "hopefully the red "swipe to turn off button" appears. If this does not happen we will have to perform a hard reset and the way to do this is to push the power button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds. The iPad may restart automatically however if it does now now you can push the power button in the top right and the Apple Logo should appear at the center of the screen.

Now your iPad should start up freshly and come back to life, unless there isn't a further problem.

Samsung T629 stuck at splash screen

Take your sim car out and try using these codes to reset the phone.
*2767*2878# and *2767*3855#

Your phone software could also be corrupt.
If you go to samsung you may be able to update the firmware in the phone over the internet.

If all else fails have the phone re-flashed by a technician.

Frozen tomtom

You can get your original splash scren from here. You can also download free splash screens created by user through TomTom HOME.

To correct your device, try:

1. Hit the reset button on the back of the device - inside the serial connector.
2. Make sure the device is off and connect it to your computer via USB dock and connect the charging cable (green light should be on)
3. Hold down the power button until the device restarts.
4. The device should automatically connect to your computer.
5. Run TomTom HOME and check for any updates.
6. If there is no new application, try: www.tomtom.com/9091 <-- that will show you how to remove and then reinstall the application.

Touch screen issues

Has the unit ever been really wet or is there a hole in the touch screen foil? If not have you ever done a cold reset?
. First turn the unit OFF, then HOLD your thumb on the furthest bottom right hand corner of the screen, push as far into the corner as you can on the screen itself. While holding your thumb/finger on the screen press and hold the POWER ON button until you see the ZUMO splash screen, once the splash screen is up you can release the power, but continue to hold your thumb in the right corner of the screen for another 5 - 10 seconds, you should see a window that pops up and asks "Do you really want to erase all user data?", make sure to answer YES to this window, if you don't see this window, then turn unit OFF and try the above instructions again, ensuring your thumb is in the furthest portion of the bottom right hand corner of the touch screen.
