Hi my camera will not take any photos, its just blank, however i able to still see the photo's i took before it stopped working. i borrowed it to my brother and he beleives one of his friends managed to spill some drink over it. I cannot see any water mark or wetness on it, i have opened it up and it looks dry. what could be the problem?
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

My powershot SD750 digital elph got slightly doused in champagne, I took a q tip and tried to help dry out the inside, but the q tip came out dry. It didn't really get that wet and I dried it off immediately, however after charging the battery and letting it dry overnight it won't turn on, is there something I'm missing or is my camera just dead...?
