is my camera finally dead?

[ToyotaFreak]

Just happened last night (Since 19:00, last used at 14:40-ish yesterday + was still in good working order at the time.), my camera can't be switched on at all.

So at first, I changed the batteries but it wouldn't work.

Recharged both, as they were low, camera still doesn't work.

Warm up the camera in front of the heater (Not directly in front. Don't want it to melt or explode.) and re-insert the batteries, doesn't work.

Is it dead (Yet.)? Or can it still be revived?

This happen to me before, but the camera will be back to normal after a couple of minutes or hours (But that's not the case now.).

btw, it's an ancient, but still usable (Or it used to be.) Casio QVR 51

Thanks,

TF

Also with my cannon lens stuck and camera wouldnt work . cannon repaired under warranty, might be a good excuse for a new camera. as they can be picked up for around $120. :D :D

Yeah cameras are cheap these days, poor Casio might've kicked the bucket.

Just don't do what my mate did in a pub. Dropped his (fairly new and not inexpensive) camera into a schooner of beer. Why do they make cameras so small these days :(

After looking at it again, yup. It's jammed, and I think the other parts inside failed too. But it's already 5 years old, so yeah, time for it to head up in junk yard in the sky (The warranty probably expired 2 years ago.).

hehehee... No more stalker shots for the Spotted WA thread. But I'll be back next term... MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!

I'm either eyeing my dad's Olympus e510 (He complains that it's too heavy for him.), get a new compact digicam or a DSLR of my own when I'm back in Malaysia.

Borrowing a friend's cam for now.
