hey everyone,

i have a sony alpha a200 and i'm not totally sure what to do.
i dropped it in some water when i was in the philippines and immediately started drying it out and cleaning it and such. it took a couple weeks to get everything looking okay again and i never switched it on when it was wet.

i am wondering if it is worth it to take it somewhere, yongsan or any other suggestions, to see if it can be repaired?

or am i screwed and should i just move on and buy a new camera?

i'll probably head to yongsan tomorrow night unless there is a better suggestion.

has anyone had similar problems and been successful with a repair???

thanks in advance,

adam

IF it had power to the mainboard when it got wet you probably fried it and an expensive repair or replacement is necessary.

IF there was NO power to the mainboard when it got wet and it was fresh water you can contact sony for repair locations.

If it was salt water = buy a new camera.
