I have a Kodak Easy Shae C913 and water got into the camera. I comes on but I think it is still wet on the inside. Is it completely damaged or can it be repaired?

please make sure that you're using fresh batteries. remove battery then press and hold power button for 30 seconds. reinsert batery and try to power on and use zoom functions

Here's one source, in several colors:

Hi,

Please try visiting below link

Kodak Easy Share C913

Use a card reader.

Is this your camera? Do you have the owner's manual? Have you ever put a memory card into the camera or is it just using it's internal memory?

The Kodak web site has drivers. Use the drop-down menu to chose your OS, http://www.kodak.com/global/mul/service/downloads/DownloadLookup.jhtml?pq-path=6839/13176/13179&product=EKN035311

I hope this helps.

Usually you just plug it in and turn it on.  The software should get started from there.

Make sure you haven't covered the microphone while recording.

It is possible that the there is still some water inside and it will not evaporate because it is enclosed. Even if the water evaporates, it may leave some conductive residue. The water may be on some circuit boards and inside some connectors.

If the camera is worth servicing, I would not recommend that you open the camera yourself and un-assemble the boards and connectors to clean everything. If you are not experienced at this type of work, it is very easy to do more damage from handling the boards and connectors. These cameras are very delicate inside.

There is the other aspect, that if the water got on to some sensitive components on the circuit board, there can be some damage to the the parts. The water being conductive can act like a short and cause permanent damage. The fix in this case would be to change the circuit board(s) that are in failure.

Your best bet would be to give the camera to the manufacture service rep to have an estimate for repair. If your camera is under warranty, and they find water damage inside, the warranty will be void.

Next time you go water rafting or out in the rain with your camera, make sure you get a model that you can invest in the water-proof kit for your camera. It will be a lot cheaper than fixing the camera or buying a new one.
