It stopped functioning, but worked a bit the next day. A tour guide we were with solved the problem, by holding the camera besides the exhaust of the tour bus for 30 seconds, Dried everything out inside perfectly,and the camera works well now.<br />RedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-47028397231801793942009-12-13T16:47:36.187-05:002009-12-13T16:47:36.187-05:00Jean - It's possible the gadget was too far go...Jean - It's possible the gadget was too far gone.

Flowers, dinner, maybe breakfast in bed as well?<br /><br />PK - Yes, I've heard it's quite common, and people rarely bother to resuscitate them.<br /><br />Biddable - Thanks for the tip. Canned air is great too.<br /><br />Fab - That's always the way with insurance. Hey, maybe if we buy life insurance, we won't die.<br /><br />KayLynn - Thank you. Maybe put rice in your kids' Christmas stockings, for a laugh.<br /><br />Sara - The two indispensables.<br /><br />Greenwoman - Yes, I did know about the rice sock.

I didn't want to spend the 5 bucks a month for extra insurance and had to buy them myself. I now have insurance after the last incident and nothing has gone wrong since. If I didn't get the insurance I probably would have broke it walking out of the store. <br /><br /> Hugs, FabFabsterranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719210462221356534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-87388489244225394222009-12-12T09:28:09.831-05:002009-12-12T09:28:09.831-05:00Rice solves everything.

There are so many ways our electronic umbilical cords can get wet. (Your accident high on the list!) LJ got caught in a down pour once that was so severe his phone was drowned in his pocket. I dropped mine in a cup once. I think maybe I'll keep a bag of rice on hand and tell the kids too.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />PKPKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-23306633825350269192009-12-12T07:38:38.545-05:002009-12-12T07:38:38.545-05:00You should really be rewarded.
