It Works!

The rice treatment, that is. During a particularly nasty downfall the other evening I slipped on a mound of ice (yes, we still have ice!) whilst approaching a cab and fell flat into a gushing gutter of water. Obviously everything was soaked including my camera which was completely unresponsive when I got home. I removed the batteries and put the camera into a Zip-Loc bag of rice for three days: the camera has made a complete recovery; I still have a bruised knee. Just thought I’d let you know.

Dont get too excited just yet, the problems with water in phones is the phone dies or gets wonky a few weeks afterwards in my experience.

Good luck.

Don't spoil it, RATTER15:) This was a digital camera, not a cell phone, so I think that their "insides" are not as complicated as a phone...I hope, anyway.

I used a bunch of those in containers that I store on the balcony in the Fall. They're great.

Well, it's a good thing, Scrivens, that they didn't leave their strain of flu behind since I was absolutely drenched and cold:)

'' coming back over the field'' by any chance ?

[stewey]

No, anneasquith; taking a cab home to avoid the field...Perhaps I should have taken that route instead:)
