Nothing transfered from the lens (ccd) to the screen/memory card
Hello there. Recently i went sailing and dropped my camera in the water (freshwater). i took it home to dry, took the batteries out, took ou the sd card, then i let it dry for 20 days (just to make sure). then i try to turn it on, it responds as normally, but the screen is blank, except for the menu. So the lcd works, but nothing is transferred to it. how do i repair this, if it's even possible? I have opened it already, but can't see anything "wrong"

Greetings Maltheskalle,
Units that experience water damage are normally irrepairable even after drying out. I would take it to a qualified repair center and have them give you an estimate on repairing the unit. You may find that replacing the camera is more economical than repairing it.

Never remove or insert a memory card while the camera is turned on. Try removing the battery, waiting about 30 minutes, and then putting in a freshly charged battery.

This is not good, salt water is extremely corrosive and will destroy the camera in a matter of hours, I suggest pulling the memory card to save any photo's if possible and transfer contents to a computer.
Hi,
The possible solution's are
1 . First uninstall the photosmart software from the system and reinstall the software once again . Install in C: drive and then connect usb and transfer photos this will work . If this doesn't work then try in another usb port of the computer and transfer photo's .
2. Photo's will be in memory card ,better get memory card reader and take out the memory card from the camera and insert it into the card reader . Now connect card reader to computer and transfer photo's .
This sounds like one of two problems - Either an LCD screen problem or a bad CCD sensor. A LCD screen problem would indicate one of two of the following - it was cracked, or the cable inside is either damaged or moved out of the plug and need to be reseated.
A bad CCD sensor would show a pink screen on cameras, but would also show menus on the screen as well, do you see those? The CCD basically captures the image the lens is seeing and translates it to an image the camera can save. Generally the CCD can not be replaced separately from the lens and will require an entire lens assembly for repair.
Try to set the camera mode in to auto Make sure the flash is set to auto Take pictures in different lighting condition outdoor and indoor Try do transfer pictures in the computer format the memory card and the internal memory If the pictures appears blurry the lens assemble on the camera or the sensor is defective...
Either the lens is out of alignment, or the CCD or worse has gone defective. Either way it sounds like it may be worth it to just purchase a new camera. You do always have the option of repair as well. Thanks, Lee
Hi.. I think you have solved the problem yourself... replace the adapter with a memory stick... You have eliminated the micro sd card as bad... now try a new known good memory stick..
There is a sensor behind the lens of your camera that takes light and converts it to electrical signals that in turn is decoded by the board. If the sensor is damaged, there will be no picture to display only what you have in the memory stick. Work on it. Good Luck
This may not be able to be fixed. Sounds like internal trouble. Could be a loose link internally. Could be some problem with the ccd sensor. If the colors change as you are trying to take a picture, then suspect the ccd sensor. If it is the ccd, then Nikon may fix it for free. I suggest you go to the Nikon website for your country, and call the (usually toll free) number for service and information. Take care,
Since I'm not very rich at the moment, I still wan't to try and repair it myself. Any tips about what to look for inside, and how/what to clean ?
if everything fails, and the camera is irrepairable, I might just get a new one ...
