SOURCE: My camera and camcorder have stopped working due
this is your only possible venue, short of sending the units out to be repaired. Take a large ziplock bag and fill it halfway with uncooked rice(the real stuff not the five minute stuff) place your cams into the bag for a solid 48 hours, no cheating, when the time has passed take them out and shake loose any renegade grains of rice that may be trying to rent a space in your camera. Fire them up and best of luck. Dana
SOURCE: What should I do to fix water damage to my Canon
Try this for your digital camera :
This works on most mini electronic devices like cellular phones and degital cameras etc .
it sounds crazy .
Remove the back (or Cover ) of the phone( or Camera ), battery, and SIM if your phone ( or Device ) uses one , DIRECTLY
.
Then, with a q-tip (or something similar), dab the connection points (shiny, goldish) on the battery, SIM, and phone. This should aid in drying.
Finally, place all contents in a bag of uncooked rice (separately, do not put back together just yet). it sounds crazy , but it draws the moisture out.
It normally is working after just 7-8 hours, but I would wait 12 hours or even 24 hours before attempting to use (just to be sure).
beware the water damage, despite being dry now, will void any warranties. Also, the phone's hardware is now weakened and if you drop it, the green mother board and circuitry could shatter - so be more careful.
This does work on electronic devices aside from phones as well. Simply tailor it to your device. If you do not have a SIM (Verizon phones, cameras, all others), remove only the battery. If you have an iPhone/iPod or GPS and cannot remove the battery, simply make sure it is all the way off, then put it in the rice bag. All electronic devices react the same to the rice trick.
