Answer» Not sure if there's a BETTER place to post this, but here goes...
A friend of mine has a Konica Digital Revio KD-310Z camera, which he dropped in some water a while ago
He shut it off and put it near a radiator with batteries etc removed to dry out for a few hours
However, it now refuses to even turn on, it just flashes a LITTLE red light and doesn't do anything else, then makes a loud beeping noise after a few minutes and shuts off
Do you guys think this camera's dead, or is there any hope of reviving it?
Doesn't matter so much if it's dead, he has a really good SLR camera too, but I was kinda hoping he'd give it me if I fixed it...he's given me 2 cameras already, both of which don't work any more, but have not been physically damaged or mistreated
Speaking of which (and I know this post might be getting a bit long now) one of the AFOREMENTIONED cameras is a Goodmans G-Shot 3021Z. The problem is that it will take pictures, movies etc, but will not save them onto an memory card (using a Kingston 128Mb SD card). Any ideas, or should I consign it to the scrap heap?
The other camera is a Trust 820 LCD Powercam Zoom, and everything is out of focus on it when it tried to focus on far-away objects, eg ACROSS the road or when I have the sky in the frame. Closer photos turn out OK. Have tried changing all the settings but to no avail. Any ideas, or should I junk it?
Finally, my dad's camera is a Nikon Coolpix 220 (I think) which displays "system error" on the screen when it is turned on.
Is this a goner too?
Long post, and probably in the wrong place, but any help would be appreciatedThe swimming camera has definitely bitten the dust.
Pretty much the same with the senile camera, the short-sighted camera and the junkie camera.
Sorry.
These disposable items (yes, really thought of as disposable, these days!) are almost never worth the cost of repairing. You might be able to sell them for parts on eBay though.What the *censored* are you doing with your camera's ? :-?Quote The swimming camera has definitely bitten the dust.

That's pretty much what I thought, just figured it was worth a try asking to see if anyone knew a way to fix them or anything...never mind
Definitely not worth repairing, two places I tried quoted me over £100, for which I can easily get a new, better camera, which I'm going to do
Probably will sell them on ebay, might get something for them...infinitely preferable to nothing
QuoteWhat the *censored* are you doing with your camera's ? Remember that the Nikon is my dad's and was about three years old, no physical damage or mistreatment
The Goodmans was dropped by my friend but still worked, then gave up the ghost when he gave it me
The Trust just died for no reason, but was only a budget one anyway, so didn't expect it to last long
So no deliberate camera murdering, just accidents and bad luckI wouldn't bother with Trust products again, no matter how fancy they might look. I wasn't the one who bought the Trust camera, it ws my friend...personally I thought it wouldn't last a few weeks, I was quite surprised when it lasted a whole year and a bit...QuoteI wasn't the one who bought the Trust camera, it ws my friend...personally I thought it wouldn't last a few weeks, I was quite surprised when it lasted a whole year and a bit...
At that i suspect he did way better than most...
