Rest in peace

We got caught outside in a driving rain shower yesterday at the Virginia Highlands Festival in Abingdon, VA and my digital camera got wet. It won't turn on anymore and I think it's dead.

I took over 4200 photos with it before it died. RIP M425.

Holy Crap! That is a lot of pictures to lose.
Sorry.

It may start working again after it has dried out for a while.

I only lost about 40 pictures. I had downloaded the rest.

It might dry out still... take a blowdryer to it!

Ah, poor little guy.

When's the wake?

Too sad. I've got an old Sony Cybers-shot DSC-050 (2.1 Megapixels!) that's still kicking.

My folks got one for me, I was careless, and it was stolen not long after I received it. And in a fit of guilt I purchased the same model on eBay and passed it off as the same one. I guess I feel less guilty about that somehow.

So, will you enshrine it? That's a lot of pictures for a little camera like that.

Shoot it out of a cannon like they did with Hunter's ashes!

We dropped ours in the lake and a couple of months later it had dried out and now works just fine again. Some people say to put it in a baggie filled with rice. The rice will absorb the moisture.

As someone who treats her camera like another appendage, I send you my condolences.

Try what the folks here have suggested. It might work!

Hmmm. Your camera got wet and won't turn on. When I get turned on, I get wet! That's known to scientists as "The inverse camera-woman phenomenon."

I'm so sorry for your loss. Perhaps you can console yourself in the knowledge that that little fella lived a full life.

Often, when electronic gadgetry gets wet, it shorts out and drains the batteries. A good drying and new batteries might be all it needs.

I made you a funeral hotdish.
