Wet camera My camera has been dropped down into water. Now I can not bring the tape out of the cam. LCD monitor, eyepiece viewer is fine but it can not go into record mode. I think the first step to fix the problem should be to the tape. How can I get the tape back?

This is extremely old technology - replace it, as parts and service will not be available.

Sometimes there is a button to change from using display to eyepiece.
look for something like that. I have that when i shoot video or pictures with my camera.

I'm sorry to bring you bad news, but that problem is probably terminal. In general with electronics, the components and wiring are waterproof, and if you get them to be totally dry before applying power, they'll be OK. The problem with cameras is that they're permanently powered by the battery (even if it's apparently off). While the electronics are wet, and powered, the printed tracks and components are eroded by electrolytic action.

Your only hope is to remove the battery immediately, dry the camera out (use a vacuum cleaner that won't mind a few drops of water to hurry the process along) and try turning it on. Sorry again for the bad news.

Wait ,Wait ,didn't you romove the Canon digital ixus 50 battery at once when the camera drop at the swimming pool. You'd better ask the CANON Service Centerto for help,this will completely good and safe for your Canon IXUS 90, wish you good luck!

Think that you might have accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This manually turns the LCD display on and off to save batteries. You would then use the optical viewfinder in its place. To turn the screen back on, just press the DISP button one more time.

flex wire connecting LCD with camcorder might be a problem it's very common.I did in mine .
Good luck

MECHANIZAM fauly.repalace it by expert.

the video ribbon is probably not secure in its connector and as you open the door it is pulled from the simple housing it connects to these cameras are absolutely terrible the lcd screens will always fail because of a design defect in the ribbon and its routing and fastening.Inside the lcd screen to secure it they use electrical tape as a fastener so ridiculous.
