Waterlogged Camera

So I don't remember if I mentioned that after bringing my camera back home and charging the battery, it turned on! Well at least it still kinda worked. The screen was completely white, but I could still take pictures I thought. Being very careful (cause who knows what a waterlogged camera will do!) I locked the memory card and managed to extract all the pics to my computer. Oh what a sweet day that was! So then I put my camera away and started naming all the pictures...

So today I decided to take another crack at it. I finally found a screwdriver at home that was small enough to take out the screws and got to work. It was a simple operation really. After taking the casing off, I disconnected and then reconnected the cables to the screen. I found out that when I put it back together previously, I had not pushed the cables in all the way, hence the white screen. I turned it on and viola!!! My camera is back and working again! I am not exactly sure for how long it will work, but I will use it until it dies. When turning it on the gears to push out the lens make a slightly more screeching sound than they did before. It is like the gears are starting to rust or something. There really isn't anything I can do about that at this point. Let's just hope that it keeps working!

And here is the picture to prove that it is working again:
