Easy fix for water damage!

Saturday night I went out to the bar and had quite a scare with my digital camera. While it was hanging off my wrist it was accidentally dunked into a drink, resulting in… water damage! :(

Now for anyone who loves their gadgets, cell phones, digital cameras, etc… water damage is a very scary thing! I always get warranty’s on all of my stuff, including accidental coverage, that covers just about everything. I immediately dried the camera off and took out the battery and memory card. A few hours later I checked back on it, and yes, it was clearly acting up with a weird blinking screen and not turning on all the way.

Thanks to my good buddy Bob I found a quick solution to this problem! Putting my camera into a sealed bag of dry rice will allow the rice to absorb the water, or in my case Captain Morgan and coke, out of the camera! I wanted to make sure the rice did as much as it could, so I left it in the bag for 2 days! Now the camera is back to normal and hopefully will stay that way!! :) However, this may not work on things that have been exposed to water for a longer period of time.

Thanks again Bob for this awesome tip!

Remember: Next time you have water damange, place whatever it is into a bag of dry rice and let it do all the work!
