CAMERA GET WET WITH SEA WATER

If the water was clean and no one tried to switch it on while it was wet you have a chance.

The batteries should be removed as soon as it was discovered wet. The rice is a good idea but be aware it takes days and not hours. I use the airing cupboard and leave them at least a couple of weeks.

Get your heater core checked. May be leaking.

Switch off phone, open back cover and remove battery. Now place the phone and all parts in the sun. Switch sides so that sun heat can reach all parts and dry them. Do it for about 2 hours at least but keep checking for dried parts. Hope your phone starts functioning after that. Best of luck.

In such cases, one should always pull out the batteries immediately, and dry the gadget as far as possible, use dryer, put under sun for several hours, etc.... until you are confirmed that it must have been dried, the try it... it may work.
and in case your gadget is on / u switch on while it is wet...the chips/circuit may get damaged...and it will need hard core repairing then...

The sun only dried out the exterior, not the inside where the circuits are. If you tried to turn it on while still wet inside, you probably fried the circuits.

you need to keep the battery and phone in a good sun light to dry out the water inside the circuits. Don't switch on the phone until both are well dried.

The 40D is not a water resistant camera body. It is VERY important to keep it from getting wet, even "just a little mist".

The first thing you need to do is remove the battery, and the lens. Then let the camera dry out in a warm and not-humid location for a few days. Do NOT try to power it up until you are 100% certain that it is dry.

The water at Sea World has salt in it. You may have salt in an electrical connection, even after the water has dried. You can try using a swab very lightly moistened with rubbing alcohol to dry the connections you can reach - the battery connection and the connections between the camera body and the lens (clean the connections on the lens as well as the camera body). Then let the camera dry AGAIN for at least 24 hours before you reattach the lens and insert the battery.

If these do not fix the camera then you will need to send it in to Canon for cleaning and refurbishing.

i spilled soda on my nikon camera its a touch screen camera,( small red one) what do I do to fix the problem. I take a piccture it shows kind of black or gray. Should I open it or take it to a store

Non distilled water is conductive. Salty sea water is the worst. The fact that it's conductive means that it's short circuiting the camera when still wet, and if you had the camera on at the time or before it dried then you're likely to have fried it to some extent. apart from that, the longer it has been since it got wet, before you opened it up and serviced it, the more damage you allowed to set in. Corrusion from the salty water is eating away at the electrical boards, and before long the damage is irepairable. You should take it to a lab ASAP when something like this happens and hope they can save it. If the camera got only slightly splashed then there's a chance the damage is only local and can more easily be fixed. Sorry, and I hope you get away with it ;]

Hi Alicimo, When anything wet is introduced to electronic circuitry, there is a risk of a short that can destroy it. Most of the time, however, it can be dried out and serve a useful life. What I would do it to take the battery out, open up the battery door, put it somewhere in your house where the sun can hit it, then wait for 4 or 5 hours. If it still doesn't operate, you could take it in to a camera shop for a cleaning, if this works, it is a small price to pay, and would certainly be better than buying a new one. Let me know if you can get it going again. Best regards, nightdiver
