I got my camera 3 weeks ago. Now Im on vacation in Thailand and used the camera snorkeling. Yesterday the camera "froze" so the only way to get it going again was to remove the battery. Today while snorkeling again the camera just died. Black, nothing happens. I have tried a recharged battery and I have been very careful about not getting any water in to vital parts. I waited until the camera was totaly dry before removing the battery, both yesterday and today. But today nothing happens.... The camera is dead. Any suggestions?

Hi there please follow the steps and let me know the result.
1. Ensure batteries are fully charged & clean the battery connector point in side the battery compartment.
2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for any sand, dirt or any damaged etc.
3. Try turning the camera with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck
4. Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 5 minutes and refit the battery only.
5. Now turn on camera( with out card ) and see ,if working then fix the memory card & again turn on the camera. If working then fine . Otherwise format the memory card and fix back in camera again & try. Make sure before format the memory card take a back up all photos in your computer then format.

Battery

Might be the camera's battery terminals, not the battery itself. Take a qtip and some isopropyl aclohol and clean the terminals in the battery well of camera.

Were you on the beach? Check for sand particle around the lens barrel, and make sure that you are using good quality batteries (rechargeable preferred). Also see this, maybe it will help.

I was using my camera while in mexico about a week ago, while taking photos the camera said "Card is not formatted, format now?" all my pictures were erased. I tried getting them off first but...

Sounds like a failing memory card. Anytime you are prompted to format and select "Yes" you are erasing you data. You should first try the card in a card reader. You could possibly use data recovery software like Recuva. Get a new card and see if the problems still occur. Also be sure you card is fast enough for video - check your camera specifications.

Pentex Optio W30 turns on but black screen for 5 secs & turns off

Try a new battery first, much less costly.

A fairly common problem with "underwater" cameras is that the sealing surfaces that are supposed to keep the water out fail to some degree due mostly to lack of cleanliness when the camera is closed up. It takes VERY LITTLE salt water inside a delicate electronic device to wreak all sorts of havoc.

Look carefully inside the camera for any sign of salt deposits or corrosion. If you see that, the camera is likely toast or at least in need of a repair job that likely will cost more than a newer camera.

Good luck!
