Camcorder repair

[Carpenter]

I have a Panasonic HDC-SD60 HD camcorder that got a little wet. Not talking soaked, but had a few drops from a splash/wave. Blew them off and the camera shut down. Now it tries to turn on, but won't. Could be a simple fix, could be a paper weight. Anyone recommend a place to take it to. It's not super expensive, but don't feel like paying for another one. I'm in Brainerd, but could bring/mail it most anywhere.

Thanks,

Carp

Sorry can't be of any help. Get in your hair.

You could try what they recommend for a cell phone. Put it in a Tupperware container with lots of rice and some silica packets if you have them. Leave it in there for a few days with out the batteries. This will pull the moisture from the inside and if it doesn't start after that, then you will have to take it in.

I'd try the rice thing first, then you could check with Northwest camera & video repair in White Bear Lake, on Buerkle Road. I've had some DSLR repair/cleaning done there and been satisfied.

I know a guy that dropped a point and shoot in the water, like fully submerged. Put the camera in a bag a rice and after six months it worked just fine. You might not need six months, but it is worth a try.
