[QUOTE="speedfreak, post: 81874, member: 11125"] Firstly i want to say hello to everyone, this is my first post. Glad to have you! I have problem with my Nikon D3100, i will make the story short but feel free to ask any additional questions! I live at Thailand for 3 years now and since my girlfriend study biology i spend more than half of my time in the nature taking photos! Thai people have special holiday called "Songkran", actually it is their new year, and the tradition is to go outside and splash water on each other. I bet you can guess what happened. Yeah i taped my camera in plastic bag thinking that it will be safe, but after an hour outside water managed to enter inside and camera stopped working. I took out battery immediately, disassembled camera in parts and left in plastic container with silica gel for more than 15 days.After that camera would be working for one day, than other day not and so on. And about a month after the accident everything was fine, it was working without any problems for 4-5 months- until few days ago when strange thing happened. Firstly display started to blink, than it was black for a while and turned normal. I ignored that! And it happened again, and again. 3 days ago camera died totally, not responding at all, it is not problem with On/off button since there isno green light when inserting battery-NOTHING, i tried different batteries so it is not the battery either. I left camera turned on all the time, today turned alive again for 15 mins and than display was blinking and everything went messed up on the screen, colors, it looked like pixelated psychedelic art. Now i think this camera really really needs replacement, but firstly i want to make sure that there is nothing i can do about it to fix it. The things to be worse, this is actually my girlfriend's camera, we bout this one on credit since we didn't have money after the previous one was stolen on the beach :( Ok. now for the solution, anyone can recommend something, any kind of help is appreciated. I am considering buying a new parts, but firstly i need to know what i need, maybe mainboard? Power board? also i've heard that sometimes internal battery can do things like this. But since i don't have much experience about cameras pars i need your hep! Feel free to ask anything! Thank you Dejan [/QUOTE]
