Wet elph My Canon Elph was dropped in the swimming pool. It turned on one time after its little swim, but hasn't worked since? Any ideas? I'm hoping it is not totally ruined. Has anyone had experience with this kind of problem and a successful repair?

That kind of submersion is usually a lethal thing, plus turning it on while still wet could deliver a nice killing blow, just to make sure it's dead... you passed current through conductive water spread inside the electronics. Don't mean to discourage you, there's always a chance, and you could take it for a shop to give you the final verdict, but if you told them what it went through there's a chance that they won't even bother opening it up. Sorry, at least life aint boring? ;[

Turned off hayward pump 3/4HP to clean out leaf basket and when turned back on would not come on. The pump is a little warm, so do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Quite often it is the starter capacitor on the pump motor. Easily repaired or replaced by a motor shop or swimming pool service company.

Swimming pool cleaning robot doesn't move

Sound like your filter is dirty. Try backwashing if you have a sand filter, or clean your cartridges if that's what you have. A dirty filter will reduce water flow, which in turn affects the Nav.
